Why do you think we would have to care anything about Mint? I
don't use that at all. If the Mint maintainers it want to torture
their users with prehistoric versions of the software they
distribute, it is no skin of my nose. Just switch to a distro that
is up to date. Or download a modern version of the software you
need and install it from source.

You are an unsatisfied user of Linux Mint, so why not complain to the Mint folks about them including old versions of software in their distro?

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
