Re: [Bug-XBoard] [bug #43792] Highlight last move doesn't work when pre-moved
Well it’s a little more general then this. Making an illegal move clears the board of any hi-lights and arrows. Because the hi-lighted square is no longer the last move. The last move was an invalid one. Idk if this is really desirable. You can scroll back and forward a move to hi-light the last recorded move if you need.

Indeed, this works as designed, and that this is on a pre-move is just co-incidental. It seems that the desired behavior is that after rejection of a pre-move (or any move) the original state of the highlights is restored, though. In principle that should be possible. I can imagine that this is most desirable on a premove, where the rejection would be instantly, so that the user never gets the chance to see the opponent move. ___ Bug-XBoard mailing list Bug-XBoard@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-xboard
