Bug Description

Just updated to Stellarium v 0.15.0. The Moon disappears somewhere during solar eclipses. Is it now going behind the Sun? One sees it obscuring the face of the Sun, then during Totality the Sun becomes apparent, when indeed it should be black because as we all know, it is covered by the Moon during solar eclipse.

This is a bug!

Sorry I am not a developer, or I would attempt to fix it. Would appreciate some help from the developing community to revert back to the older behaviour where the Moon obscures the Sun during Solar Eclipses.

Thanks,
J. McClean
