Hi Gehrhard and Larry,

Indeed it seems related to magnitudes.
In display data shown with planets "on", there is no problem but with
planets "fixed" or "auto" the Earth disappears:
With "fixed" you need a magnitude of at least 17 to have the Earth displayed
during the whole transit:
As my setting was "on", I did not notice the disappearance.
