[Bug-gnubg] Checker/Cube annotation + suggestion

[Albert Silver]

I think I've pinpointed the source of the disappearing/reappearing
analysis when using the move arrows in the new GUI. It seems the problem
is when there is a change from displaying from either only a checker
play analysis, to a checker play AND Cube analysis, to even only cube
analysis. Whenever the display must change to add or remove a tab to
allow one to see the cube and/or checker analysis, the annotation goes
blank. For example, start with the first move of a game, when no double
is possible, and then click on the right arrow to move 2. The annotation
goes blank as it must now display a tab for the cube analysis as well.
Now go to a couple of moves before a cube play. If you click on the
arrow, it shows the analysis with tabs to show either cube or checker
analysis, but the minute the arrow passes to show the cube analysis of
the cube play (with no checker analysis of course) the display goes
blank again. Etc. I've checked and this seems to be the root of the
problem. I hope this helps fix the problem. Now, if you could only get
that promised second line to display the probabilities of Wins/gammons
etc. I will be once more a very happy junkie. Happier than I am now that
is. :-)

One suggestion/request as this was one of the ideas behind the GUI's
organization: would it be possible to activate the text annotation area
*while* playing so that I might write my notes during the match? This
way I could write down my thoughts for a decision when making it, and
later, when the analysis was done, I could compare my thoughts with the
bot's results. I could include estimates on possible doubles I perceived
and say why I thought of doubling and didn't, or why I thought doubling
was a good idea. I could even estimate how big an error it would be and
see how close I was to the truth, etc. All in all, it would be a very
useful, instructive feature.
