Centering on observer planet makes viewport freak out

[Mike Storm]

When the observer is at any location on Earth, enter "Earth" in the Search dialog and hit enter. When the view tries to center on 90 degrees "downward", it starts jumping all over the place. If the observer is on any planet and zooms in on the "home" planet, the same behavior occurs.

Applies to 0.10.1/2 svn 4297, theoretically all operating systems.

Hi Mike

That bug has been present for some time. It was present in version 0.9.1 and I think version 0.8.x. I did not attach any importance to it. It also occured with the ISS if you put yourself on the ISS and look down the same effect happens.

Still, it should be fixed at some point, even if it's not high priority. I just reported it here to get it on record.
