"It works fine for me."
I do not understand the problem description.

Here is an example of what I tried:

Open menu Render / View Options
Select "Eclipse Shadows"
Leave "View Options" menu open.

Open menu Navigation / Eclipse Finder

Specify Find |solar| eclipse on |Earth|
Specify From |01 Jan 1946| to |01 Jan 1947|
Select button "Compute"

wait
Celestia finds 4 eclipses

Select (highlight) "Earth Moon 3 Jan 1946 ..."
Select button "Set Date..."
Earth spins and date changes.
In the "View Options" window select and deselect "Eclipse Shadows"

Observe shadow come and go on Antartica

Select (highlight) "Earth Moon 30 May 1946 ..."
Select button "Set Date..."
Earth spins and date changes.
In the "View Options" window select and deselect "Eclipse Shadows"

Observe shadow come and go on the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Select (highlight) "Earth Moon 29 Jun 1946 ..."
Select button "Set Date..."
Earth spins and date changes.
In the "View Options" window select and deselect "Eclipse Shadows"

I don't see the shadow come and go anywhere. I think it's just barely touching the North Pole.

Select (highlight) "Earth Moon 23 Nov 1946 ..."
Select button "Set Date..."
Earth spins and date changes.
In the "View Options" window select and deselect "Eclipse Shadows"

See the shadow come and go on the Eastern U.S.

Does this happen on your system?
Can you provide instructions like this which fail?

My system:

256MB 500MHz P3, WinXP Pro SP2
128MB GF4 Ti4200, ForceWare 61.76
