Howdy Oystein,

First the screenshot suggests they are running on OS/X and likely using
a later build of GNUBG. However the latest build on OS/X Is almost 1.5
years old. I bring this up because a few months back I investigated and
fixed this bug:

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35179

In the case of the older bug the Crawford flag was disappearing under
certain circumstances in the game list in the upper right. As well, the
"Crawford Game" check box beneath the board would actually become out of
sync as well. If you look in the screenshot Vivian sent you can see that
beneath the board as well. Although I have never seen more than 1 game
showing "Crawford Game" in the list in the upper right I have seen it
not showing it at all.

It *may* be possible that this bug is fixed as of 2012-10-20 (As seen
from the Changelog entry below). Unfortunately GNUBG was last built for
OS/X in 2011. If I have time in the next few days I'll see about
producing a new build of GNUBG for the OS/X platform using the latest code.

If Vivian can tell me what version of OS/X they use, I could start by
building GNUBG for that platform first as a test and make it available.

If the problem isn't fixed by using a newer release, my guess would be
that it will be somehow related to this older bug.

Changelog entry:

2012-10-20  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
    * analysis.c, gtkpanels.c : Fix issues with crawford games. If
    not using "automatically start next game" and you analyse a game
    or match in the game preceding the crawford game the next game
    will not be treated as a crawford game.
    See: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35179

    Fixed bug with the Crawford flag beneath the board not being
    properly set when Crawford game is reached.
