Hello,

you cannot move forward and backward, but you can enter moves. So the
program behaves correct.
Currently the tree filter is still active, if the tree window is disabled.
It is just not updated. It may be a better idea it close the filter and
recreate it when the window is enabled again. So you do not need to close
it.
The second interesting possibility is to decouple the filter of the game
list and the existence of the tree window. A switch at the bottom of the
list window could enable/disable the filtering of its games independent
whether a statistic window is open. Then you could disable the filter there.

Betreff: [Scid-users] Filter trap - Corner case?

Hi,

[CVS]

Following might be a corner case, but I came across it, and it is naughty.

Open a game in some base, and open the game list and the tree for that base.

Go to some base-unique position in the game, strip all moves from the 
beginning
and save as a new game.

Load the new game (filter identifies 2 games, the original one and this 
one), edit the start position and remove a pawn (e.g.) from the board, 
making the position unique. Replace the game.

And now.... your're stuck.

Cannot move forward or backward in the game (of course) and both game 
list and tree window are empty!
Reset filter does not help.
The only way out is to close the tree window.

Funny, huh?

I would not call this a serious problem, unless the reason for this 
lockup can lead to more serious usability trouble.

Cheers,
Joost.
