[You have an icon in the toolbar to switch direction, quicker]
Can you tell me if, right after you have launched gnubg (before starting
a session), switching direction changes the cube position ? For me it
stays on the right (where it should be playing clockwise).
If I decide to play counterclockwise, the cube goes to the left side only
when a new game is started. I guess this is tied with the problem I have
in Edit mode: the cube position does not seem to change immediately when
the direction is switched. The table is updated immediately (chequers).
BTW, here I'm testing under XP, I'll give it a try at home with Vista.
MaX.
