A minor issue with the DECam GUI. Not really sure this can be fixed easily, but noting them in case it affects others (GUI users, not scripts). If you copy and paste a set of ra/dec coordinates into the observer console exposure control, you must hit "tab" after the paste to go to another field (or type in another field or click on another field) or the observer console won't "see" the new coordinate if you just click "add" without doing this. This can be tested during the daytime, you don't need to have the queue running to do it. Just compare the coordinates that are pasted into the exposure control tab with the coordinates you see in the queue when they go in. I only noticed this issue with the dec coordinates probably because I pasted in dec last, but I'd guess that it happens with ra too. This was reproducible and happened several times during the night.
