1. During a tournament, if I click on 'last round' at the 'Tournament' tab then I switch to the 'Table' tab, the tournament will not be interrupted after the round is over.

2. At engine management 'Select' tab I cannot right-click on the last engine in the list. The highlight moves over to the penultimate engine.

3. At engine management 'Details' tab I cannot scroll down the whole list. That is, I can but I cannot see the highlight (it disappears below), the lower part of the list is not displayed. I have many engines installed.

EDIT: I use Vista Home Basic x64.
I cannot make the third one happen here Gabor. How many do you have installed?

Once I told this to Martin and he could not reproduce it either. :shock:

I have currently 76 engines installed of which I can see 70 by using the slide bar.

BTW, it may have to do with screen resolution which is 1280x1024 on a 17" monitor.
Well i have 1765 engines in Arena right now and i can scroll right down but my res is 1440x900 on a widescreen 17". I cant get to that res on this machine to try to check for you. Maybe someone here can have a go.

I have heard of strange things happening where people overwrite the old Arena with a new one before but thats just a guess.

Hi,

Is the name of the penultimate engine a one letter name like "Z" ? If so nothing that follows will be displayed. Any special characters in the engine name ?

There is no "A" engine else everybody would have notcied this much ealier.

So as you see no problem for mentioning bugs, just for ChessBase fanboys.

To add to that.....

There is a problem with engines.ini that we know of if the last letter of the list of engines installed is a single character. Some people have Z as their last engine you see. Here its Zotron.
