Hello.
A bug occurs in the latest release 4.3 in Windows 7 (but not in Ubuntu).
I could not compile the current git version on Windows so I don't know
if the bug still occurs but I was able to fix the problem in the version
4.3.
In some cases, when navigating through the game with keyboard (pressing
Right repeatedly), after choosing a variation in the Variation window,
the focus goes into the tabs on the right side of the screen, and then
Right key only switches between the two tabs until e.g. the mouse is
moved from a frame to another. This is a small thing but really annoying
when one wants to go through the game quickly using only keyboard.
How to reproduce the bug:
- Open Scid
- Open e.g. Notation window (PGN window or whatever its name is) and
Tree window so that two tabs on the right side
- Import a new PGN (Ctrl+Shift+I) with only moves "1.e4 e5 (1...c5) 2.Nf3"
- Click on tab "Notation - game 0" and move the cursor to the board
frame so that the Notation tab loses focus
- Go to the beginning of the game (by pressing Up) and press Right
twice. This should open the Variation window
- After the main line is chosen from the Variation window by pressing
Right once again, the focus is on the Notation tab (there's a dashed
rectangle around the title).
- Now pressing Right repeatedly only switches between the Notation and
Tree windows.
Fix(?):
In tcl/main.tcl, there are the following lines:
# Needed or the main window loses the focus
if { $::docking::USE_DOCKING } {
bind .variations <Destroy> { focus -force .main }
}
I have no idea what this piece of code should be doing (removing it
didn't create any additional focus issues), but I was able to fix the
bug by replacing "focus -force .main" with "focus -force . ".
This change does not seem to have any (positive or negative) effect in
the current git version in Ubuntu. However, in Windows, I could compile
only the latest full release, so I wasn't able to test this change in
the latest git version.
