Yes, this is one of the /* FIXME */s in the code. I'm not sure how this is
best implemented. I've had a couple of trials which I didn't find good enough.
The best must be if the board is cleared and edit mode is activated.

There's one thing i'm wondering about. Why must ms.fPlaying be TRUE to enter
edit mode? How can I set fPlaying TRUE without starting a new game? Anyone?

It's a bug. I don't know what introduced this, but it was probably me who
introduced it. Anyone?

This can be easily fixed I guess... I'll see what I can do.

I can recreate this bug at this machine, but I have no idea how to fix it.
Anyone?

Is this the GTK bug in the message window? It's a GTK for windows bug. It has
been there for ages.
