xboard and mode "edit position"

Postby Pedro Castro » 21 Oct 2008, 16:52

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.

I've tried it with version 4.2.7, if I use the "edit position" I am only half the menu for the black pieces, this is a known bug?

The same with the version 4.3.14k of H.G.
Best wishes,

IIRC you have to press both mouse buttons to switch. Sorry I can't be more exact. There is a hardware problem here.

Thanks, I've managed to make it work.

My mouse has 3 buttons, with middle button I set the white, with the button on the right, I set the black.
Best wishes,

Indeed, this is how it works in xboard. I am not sure why they prefered it that way. My mouse has ony two buttons...
