[Bug-XBoard] [bug #27153] Pre-move does not work on xboard 4.4beta1

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #27153 (project xboard):

When the problem occurs I cannot even select a pre-move, if I try to drag a
piece it does not even get highlighted at all.
And yes, I did all the steps from autogen to final binary.

Actually I did upgrade my system to Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04, gcc 4.3.3) today and
rebuilt xboard from scratch. I still see the same problem, a little less often
but it still occurs. It is strange, at a given move, the pre-move would work
for one piece move and not for another. For example, there was a position
where I could input a pawn-take-pawn premove but not a Bishop take-pawn (and
of course both are valid moves).

At some point I thought it might be because I use the mouse of my Wacom
tablet but again, I have older version of xboard that work just fine on the
same system so it is more likely a regression.
