I first noticed this with the ISS, but it's actually happening to every 3ds object with a texture on it. Whenever a 3ds object enters the shadow of another body, all textures dissappear, and it acts as though ambient light is on full.

Strange other bug, possibly related- the ISS is the only object I can see textures on at the moment. I've checked out a few 3ds moons (Amalthea, Prometheus) and no textures are showing on them.

I didn't download the entire 1.3.2 fixed package, I just got the exe file and put it into the 1.3.2pre1 installation, replacing the previous celestia.exe. I didn't notice anything like this in 1.3.2pre1.

Celestia v1.3.2pre2fixed (sort of, as above)

I'm seeing the same problem as Jack reports for bodies in the solar system.
DSC Nebula textures are being drawn OK, though.

I downloaded and installed the entire installation kit, not just the executable.

Turning off Eclipse Shadows seems to be a work-around. I'll add it to the SF Tracker.

Just to confuse the issue, I seem to be having problems viewing Nebulae from within the solar system. The stars around them become brighter, whenever I rotate the view to look at a nebula. And as for the Nebulae themselves, they appear to have black borders around them.

Can someone show me a screenshot of the nebula problem? I can't reproduce it myself . . .

Cheers Don, they are exactly the problems I am seeing with the Nebulae.
