RE: [Bug-gnubg] Serious bug in new build

[Albert Silver]

Yes, you are correct. I realize this may seem a lot of work over one
default option, but might I suggest this is changed and set in a new
Installation Archive. New users aren't going to like having to figure
out why GNU is making their first games against it a pain in the neck.
Can't blame them.

Øystein's build has (Settings / Appearance, tab 'General')
'Allow dragging to illegal points' checked
and
'Show higher dice first' unchecked

If you prefer easy moving: uncheck the first and check the second.
If you want 'as close as real'... well: that is a good choice (and
uncheck
'Show pip count' and uncheck 'Numbered Point Labels';-) )
