[You have an icon in the toolbar to switch direction,
quicker]
Can you tell me if, right after you have launched
gnubg (before starting a session), switching direction changes the cube position
? For me it stays on the right (where it should be playing clockwise). If I decide to play counterclockwise, the cube goes
to the left side only when a new game is started. I guess this is tied with
the problem I have in Edit mode: the cube position does not seem to change
immediately when the direction is switched. The table is updated immediately
(chequers).
BTW, here I'm testing under XP, I'll give it a try
at home with Vista.
