Re: [Bug-gnubg] Problem displaying 3D board with 0.16-devel

[Myshkin LeVine]

Jon,
	Resizing the window after selecting "Switch to 3D view" corrupts the 
image totally, you can't even tell that it is a backgammon board. Older 
versions of gnubg do still work. I have a build of 0.15 from the 
gnubg-source-rel-0_15_20061120 snapshot from the media/sources archive 
which works very well, the 3D board displays fine. It does have the 
problem where the program freezes if you try to change the appearance 
through the settings menu, otherwise it is okay. I also have a build of 
0.14.2 from alpha.gnu.org and while it is not all that stable the 3D 
board will display properly. Curiously, you can change the appearance 
through the settings menu, unlike newer versions.
	As I told Christian, I will build some of the recent snapshots so that 
I can tell you exactly when the problem started. I just finished the 
December 12th, 2007 snapshot and it is okay, the 3D board displays 
properly. I will narrow down the date and get back to you.
