I think this bug was peculiar to the Analysis window, which has now been removed entirely from WinBoard / XBoard. The Engine-Output window that replaces it does not pop up automaticaly when an engine writes to it, and thus cannot suffer from the described behavior. It simply opens and closes together with the main window, and continues to collect output even when it is closed.

This might be fixed in the new version. Please test again.

This should be fixed in the upcoming 4.4.0 if you can test the git-version, let me know if this works for you.

I have observed the following odd behavior in WinBoard 4.2.7:

WinBoard is started with Crafty as the first chess program. Then one selects
'Analysis' mode. The analysis window appears and begins to show the messages
received from Crafty. If now the main window is minimized, the analysis
window disappears with it, but only for a brief moment, as it reappears
quickly (as soon as Crafty sends its next message). When one tries now to
restore WinBoard to its full size, the clicks on the corresponding icon of
the taskbar produce no effect. It is necesary to close the apparent analysis window
to be able to recover the main one. But then another analysis window reapears
with the group, only that this time it is its turn to be the 'dead'
one, i. e., its contents are not updated (because the analysis was
interrupted when the preceding one was closed) and it does not respond to
any command, so that it is necesary either to close WinBoard to make it
disappear or to reactivate the connection with Crafty by issuing the
'Analysis mode' command again.

The solution I have applied is the following:

In the function 'VOID AnalysisPopUp(char * title, char * str)' in winboard.c
replace the instruction

ShowWindow(analysisDialog, SW_SHOW);

by

//
// keep out of view the updated analysis window
// if the main window is minimized
if (IsIconic(hwndMain))
return;
else
ShowWindow(analysisDialog, SW_SHOW);
//

and things seem to work now as they should.
