[Bug-XBoard] [bug #8847] Moving backward while examining on FICS not reported to engine

[Tim Mann]

Update of bug #8847 (project xboard):

                Severity:              3 - Normal => 2 - Minor              
             Open/Closed:                  Closed => Open

Follow-up Comment #3:

I just tried with the latest git version of xboard, and this behavior is
still the same.  Looking at the xboard.debug file, a board image that comes
back from "forward" causes us to send the move to the engine, but one that
comes from "backward" doesn't cause us to send anything, so a subsequent
"forward" causes the engine to say "illegal move."

To clarify, this is just examining with -zp turned on and the Mode menu on
the default "ICS Client" mode, not Analysis Mode.

I'll attach the xboard.debug file.

Of course, this issue is by no means important, but looking at it was a way
for me to dip a toe back in the water of helping with the project.
