Confirmed. This applies to any solar system body if you are observing from it. To reproduce:
- turn off the ground
- turn on the azimuth grid to see the nadir
- click on the nadir

To the other developers:
I'm not sure what to do about it - whether it's a bug or an "unexpected feature". :) Please don't do anything without discussing it here or on the mailing list.

The bug was annoying as Earth (as well as any other main body) could be selected not only by click on nadir, but occasionally on any point below the horizon line. As of now, it looks like the virtual size of body object (active zone for mouse click) has been reduced or something else was modified, so the annoying behavior has gone. On my opinion, click on nadir must select main body, it is expected behavior. That old bug may be marked as fixed.
