It makes some sense.
What happened was I already identified a pass on ISS Detector on my phone and I wanted to keep track of it on my PC, so when I loaded SatPC32 up and didn't see it but CountDown had all the other same sats in the same order as ISS Detector, except the one I was interested in, I was a little confused.
I still don't see a problem with showing both/all passses! So I submit this as a Request For Enhancement :-)

Hi John,
It’s the way it works. No way to change that I know about. Think of it this way—it is showing the pass, now, but on the main screen. Next pass isn’t until the current one is over, so then it pops up and is visible.

I just noticed this with two different sats. I got a screencap of it too.

ISS is in view, and while it is in view CountDown doesn't show an upcoming 65 degree ISS pass that should be between SO-50 and AO-91 in the middle of CountDown. After ISS goes out of view the 65 degree pass pops up where I expect it to be the whole time.
Watch the local time at 20:23:38, about 10 seconds into the video.
Is there a setting to allow multiple passes from the same sat or is this a bug/feature request situation?
