It is no doubt a window issue (bug). The mouse or keyboard events are received but are not sent to the correct window in Scid. Then by opening another window Scid goes through some window registration code, so it "wakes up" and the events are now sent to the correct window.
Even though our descriptions below involve different windows, they both describe the same thing. Open an unrelated window, Scid starts responding correctly. So there you have a workaround. -- Alan > On May 2, 2021, at 9:46 AM, Patrick Haueter <patale...@gmail.com> wrote: > After loaded a game, I Left click on the first move (e4 !) : nothing happens, > only e4 become focused in blue, after that, I move forward with the right > left arrows keys of the keyboard : pieces move correctly on the board, BUT > nothing happen in the PGN window (instead of focused on actual move).

So we can say that Scid is not perfect. _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
