Someone asked if it was not possible to view games with XBoard always from the black point of view. I thought that we already had that, by switching auto-flip view off. But I tried it, and it turns out that even with auto-flip view off New Game always resets the view to white below. The only thing it affects is whether the orientation will change when you click 'Machine White' or 'Machine Black'.
Is this to be considered a bug? I could not think of any reason that would make it imperative to switch the view back to white POV on 'New Game'. It just seems a form of auto-flipping to me. (I am not even sure if WinBoard has always done this. or if it is something I inadvertantly introduced.)
