Pascal, You reported this 'fixed' on March 3, but it is not (completely).
To reproduce, play a few _more_ moves after you have reached a position that is not in the tree (so extend step 9 below with several moves). Then, after you close the tree, the PGN notation window shows the game you are entering in clipbase (this is fixed indeed), but the position on the board and the current-move cursor in the PGN do not match! The position on the board is unchanged (which is good), but the PGN tab (still) addresses the last known tree position. And the latter is the position that scid thinks should be on the board! Arrow-left (e.g.) restores the position on the board to what scid thinks it should be. Solution is - of course - not to mess up the (scid) position in the PGN tab at all. Joost.
