Re: [XBoard-devel] xboard

The xboard version you're using is based on the old Athena widget set, which does not have a feature where you can click on a menu and have it stay open until you click again to select from it. You have to press the mouse button on the menu, move the mouse to your selection, and only then release the mouse button.

Hi Tim, my name Charley, I will get to the point.  I am running Linux Mint 17, and was looking for a simple chess program, that i could use practice with.  So looked in Synaptic and found xboard and I like it to a point.  But when I click on a menu item the drop down list won't stay put, so I can review its contents.  Do you have a fix for this?  Or a newer version?  I also installed Fair-max but that didn't seem to help.               

Please and thank you, Charley
