Well, my initial impression was different, because I could not find any way to load another game; until I realized that closing the tree window might help. > Currently the tree filter is still active, if the tree window is disabled. What do you mean by "disabled"? > It is just not updated. The main thing that puzzles me is what can cause the tree filter to result in "no games" (in tree window and game list). I feel that this should never happen, unless I am in a position that has not been added to the base yet. I mean, if the filter is not changed by the start position change than the original game should still be there (although it does not contain the position on the board). If the filter _is_ changed by that action, than the current game should be in the list, as it does contain the position on the board. Maybe the filter _result_ should be updated as soon as I save the game to the base?

But the user needs a full grasp of the filter cascading mechanism in order to understand that the alternative "Search/Reset filter" operation does not help (as this clears only the filter that he explicitly set himself - and I did not do this).
