Note - currently when you open a single position, GnuBG doesn't recognize it as such and positions the display in accordance with the "Settings|Options|Other|Goto first game" setting. Paging up is only appropriate when this is not set; otherwise, several Page Downs need to occur (3 for a cube/no cube decision, 4 for a checker play).

So if this change is made, it's best to bypass the code that evaluates the "Goto first game" setting (which might be a good idea regardless of whether this change is done).

Ignore my last comment - I found a workaround. At the position where you didn't throw the cube, remove the dice with Edit and replace the roll with a double. Regardless of the bot's reply, save the position where you doubled (saving GnuBG's response currently causes it to abend when the position is opened).

If coding for the situation in my last comment is too much work, is it possible to save a "pre-roll" position? After paging up twice, the dice are off the board, but if you save that position, the result is identical to what was initially saved. Paging up a third time before resaving is worse since it loses both the analysis and whose turn it is.

If this is implemented, see my note in #32273 about having to "page up" TWICE for positions where the cube should have been turned before rolling. Manually formatting a position like that for quiz purposes is unusually difficult.

As an alternative to my request 32273 to automatically page up after opening a position, it's even better to have either a Save or Open option to view the cube/checker play decision without also immediately seeing the analysis or action chosen during the game. This can actually be achieved with the implementation of the much easier 32273, but that requires you to repeatedly toggle in and out of full screen mode to hide and view the panels.
