Why do you think we would have to care anything about Mint? I don't use
that at all. If the Mint maintainers it want to torture their users with
prehistoric versions of the software they distribute, it is no skin of
my nose. Just switch to a distro that is up to date. Or download a
modern version of the software you need and install it from source.

You are an unsatisfied user of Linux Mint, so why not complain to the
Mint folks about them including old versions of software in their distro?

The xboard version you're using is based on the old Athena widget
set, which does not have a feature where you can click on a menu
and have it stay open until you click again to select from it. You
have to press the mouse button on the menu, move the mouse to your
selection, and only then release the mouse button.

Hi Tim, my name Charley, I will get to the point. I am
running Linux Mint 17, and was looking for a simple chess
program, that i could use practice with. So looked in
Synaptic and found xboard and I like it to a point. But when
I click on a menu item the drop down list won't stay put, so I
can review its contents. Do you have a fix for this? Or a
newer version? I also installed Fair-max but that didn't seem
to help.
Please and thank you, Charley
