That is another issue, but perhaps indeed a bit strange and worth
addressing. If auto-flipView is off, one would not expect the board
orientation to spontaneously change. It seems, however, that auto-flipView
is not considered a relevant option in game-viewer mode, as it is grayed
out in the General Options dialog.

I don't know what the reason is for switching back to white POV when a new
game is loaded. But I guess it could be suppressed when you load a game
without any PGN tags (i.e. just moves).
