[Bug-XBoard] [bug #27826] Tags and comment windows

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27826 (project xboard):

Good point!

In WinBoard (and thus the back-end) the popping up of tags and comment
windows are now under control of the options -autoDisplayTags true/false and
-autoDisplayComment true/false. But I see that those options were never ported
to XBoard. I was not aware that 4.2.7 did not have these options, I thought
they were primordial, but apparently they were introduced in WinBoard_x. There
the default setting is "true", but this requires initialization (in
winboard.c, which handles the options), as un-initialized memory is
interpreted as "false". Which it thus what happens in XBoard.

The missing title is a consequence of that: when you pop up the window
through the menu it is an edit window without a title. I belief this was also
the case in 4.2.7 and WinBoard; the window title only appears on auto-popup.

The command-line options will of course have to be added, and I think their
default settings should be true (as in WinBoard), to reproduce old behavior
(no matter how irritating that was...). I will fix it.
