Range rings not being _range_ rings

[dikivan2000]

Greetings! I might be missing something, however the verification seems so obvious I think it might be a bug. Near the equator, the range rings work perfectly; however, near the poles they start being inconsistent. From what I managed to deduce, the north and south distances are fine, but east/west lines do not depict the right distance. Find the screenshots attached.
P.S. Either that or range/bearing tooltip is lying.

I'll take a look at it.

This is how the Earth is displayed on a plane surface.
Take a look at this webside and you wil understand the problem.

I understand the concept of plotting a sphere on a flat surface - that, however, only justifies the shape of the range rings. The curve itself should still always connect the points at the same distance from the origin, which is not the case here.

Yes it does appear that there's a bug here. It'll get fixed for the next release.
