Right.

What is your forward arrow? Do you refer to the left/right arrow keys or the little icon on top of the main board? > If you do click the forward arrow, the "variations" popup box minimizes > itself and the interface becomes frozen until the user realizes he as to > click to open it again, and click on a variation. You're using the mouse here? Indeed the variation window looses focus once you click on the forward arrow button on top of the main board. > It shouldn't be necessary to click in the "variations" popup box just to > select the main line, something that becomes a serious annoyance. The variation window is mainly meant for navigation through a game by means of the keyboard. You may have noticed that you can go through a game by the left/right arrow keys. Now if you enable the variation window, in this window you can either use the right arrow key or enter to follow the variation you select by up/down arrows. By default variation 0 is selected so just pressing right again allows you to follow the main line. If you want to use the mouse to scroll through a game I suggest to disable the variation window. cu Alexander ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
