I forgot to mention my DE is KDE PLasma which might go some way to explain the scaling issues since gnubg is GTK. Doesn't solve the issue though.

Recently upgraded my laptop, now with 4k display and all of a sudden I'm experiencing the same scaling problems, like checkers refusing to drop on certain fields and clicking on checkers wouldn't move them (on certain fields). Problems only exist in 3D mode, 2D works.
Version 1.08. OS: Manjaro Linux (X11)

Fractional scaling on Wayland was my issue. Running gnubg with "GDK_SCALE=1 WAYLAND_DISPLAY= gnubg" fixes it.

release-1_06_002 is the last version that works well.

This happens also in 1.08.003 20250103 on Ubuntu 25.04. It does happen only with 3D boards but setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 doesn't help.

Could you confirm if this happens only with 3D boards. If this is the case it is most probably the same issue as bug #62482.

A workaroud would be to set the environment variable LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE to 1 before starting gnubg (for instance launch it from a terminal with "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 gnubg").

After upgrading my operating system from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04, GNU Backgammon (gnubg) no longer functions as expected. The application experiences graphical glitches.I can no longer move the checker and select the desired position on the board. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
