YES
The dish information from: 13E to: 13E doesn't disappear.
The information shows the wrong information (13 E instead of 7E)

See the screenshot, I marked this part in yellow.
Any solution?

What the screenshot shows:
(1) You are tuned to a dead channel or a channel with no signal on tuner B, satellite 13.0E. The message " from 13.0E to 13.0E" will only disappear when a signal is detected for the target. It should timeout ideally, but it does not. This timeout issue exists in other enigma2 images.
(2) You have started a blindscan of 7.0E, and it is unclear where the dish motor is in the satellite arc.

While this combination is aggravating, it is the way enigma2 is setup in OpenVix. Enigma2 requires a signal for the target before the dish moving message disappears. Here apparently, your last dish motor move was to a dead channel or a channel without signal on 13.0E. Then you started a blindscan of 7.0E.

To fix this, or for best results, tune to a working channel on the satellite you want to scan before starting blindscan. Ideally, you would have a channel playing on 7.0E before blindscanning 7.0E. If you do not have any channels for 7.0E, but want to blindscan it, then first tune to a working channel on a satellite that is as close as possible to 7.0E, open the blindscan menu and select 7.0E, wait an estimated amount of time for the dish to move to 7.0E, then start the blindscan of 7.0E.

This area of enigma2 could use some work, especially with the dish moving message that never goes away if the receiver dues not get a signal for the target. But it has been this way for years. Tune to almost any receiver menu you want, and the dish moving message continues. It should not be this way and should timeout at some point instead.

Communication from the receiver to the motor is one direction, i.e. there is no feedback from the motor about its current angular position, which is why receiving the desired channel is used as the indicator it has stopped moving.
