I see a bug related to this same thing --I think it's related.

When I try for an asteroid that occults a star. Right click on star -- right click
on asteroid then ask for "Find conjunction" Guide does its job, then when I ask
for "Show eclipse" the time of the event advances the time and output is incorrect
-- in relation to data from Steve Preston's web page.

For one event ~10 minutes for the first one (below), and ~2 minutes for the second.
