Thanks, Bill. Yes, that is the bug to which I was referring. Not only would I have to do as Bill mentioned (update all the pieces in my game modules), but then I'd have to send the updated modules along to GMT and bother them to repost them on their website, which I'd prefer not to do since the modules that they already have in hand SHOULD work as designed.

I believe he is referring to the bug that we discussed shortly after version 2.9.9 was released. If you have a piece with the 'Movement Trail' trait, but that does not have the 'Mark When Moved' trait, then the global "Mark Not Moved" key will not clear the movement trails under v2.9.9. The workaround is to add the 'Mark When Moved' trait to the piece definition without any graphic, so the piece is not visibly marked when moved, but the movement trails will then clear with the global key. It works, but it means you have to update all the pieces in your pre-set or saved games, which I imagine is why Kevin was hoping this would be fixed soon.
