Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27828 (project xboard): OK, I see wha you mean, in WinBoard. (Where you using WB too, or XBoard?) It would be fancy if the Game List popped up with the same game selected as is currently loaded, so that the next-game button in the Game List would do the same as the Load Next Game menu.
On the other hand, there are other situations where the action is different. If you write a text string in the Filter field of the Game List, the buttons move to the next game of the filtered list, while the Load Next Game menu item moves to the next game in the file. Should in this case the behavior of the Load-Next-Game menu be changed? Or is it convenient to have both behaviors available. I will not fix this now, as I have the feeling that some serious thinking is required here as to what should be the intended behavior. For instance, the currently loaded game might no longer appear in the list at all, because the filter criterion has been changed. Which list entry should be selected then? Does it even make sense to keep the load, next-game and previous-game buttons in the Game List dialog, if there exists such an obvious shortcut (the up and down keys) to step through the list, and you can click the lit itself to load a game?
