Hi Stacey, It can be a bit awkward; I often have trouble, myself. You may be trying to place chequers at the wrong end of the bar.
Chequers go on the bar about 1/3 of the way up on the side they enter, i.e. away from the player who owns them. Ctrl drag should work. Left-click to place the bottom player's chequers, on the top portion of the bar. Right-click to place the top player's chequers, on the bottom portion of the bar. I hope this helps. Email me if you still have trouble. To developers: Could this be improved to make it easier to use? Suggestions: Dragging should acceptable over the whole length of the bar. As should left- or right-clicking. The intent of the user is unambiguous, so gnubg should handle it, and the position the chequers where it wants them.

When setting up a position for analysis in Edit Mode, I am able to position checkers anywhere except the bar. I've tried left/right clicking on the bar and also used Ctrl with drag/drop with the following results: Left click: nothing Right click: box comes up offering either Undo Move or Score Sheet Ctrl drag/drop: I can drag the checker to the bar but when I release, it doesn't stay - it simply returns to the original position Gnu version: Version GNU Backgammon 0.90-mingw 20121023 OS: Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit Dell XPS 8500 Intel i7-3770 8 GB RAM Thanks for your help, Stacey Reinhorn
