Comment 3 for bug 1405460

In order to reproduce the bug, just append the above mentioned section to the ssystem ini and restart stellarium.

I did not check the exact position, but it appears where expected. The position does not change after replacing type=comet with type=asteroid.

The same is for 15P/Finley. Adding magic orbit_good=100000000000 manually lets comet be visible.
