Hi Philippe,

There's definitely a bug in the find/show conjunction function.

If I now click on Saturn and Moon and do a "Find conjunction", I get
the one of March 20. Then, if I click Extras/Show eclipse, it shows
the one of April 16. This can be very confusing, if you don't
realize that the time has jumped ahead. Luckily, there's buttons with
which you can easily step to the previous event.
