Pasting an XGID into GNUBG
XG has a bug pertaining to its command File-> Export-> Position to clipboard.
One of the check boxes allows users to put the "Player on roll always on
bottom." When this box is checked, in cases where the top player is the dice
owner, XG produces a board diagram that swaps the top and bottom players. The
diagram is labeled incorrectly, however, with the XGID for the original
position. To fix this bug, XG should produce a new XGID that corresponds to the
swapped position, and export it along with the diagram.
Although some may call this a feature, I call it a bug! It is very
disconcerting to look at a position on the Internet, and then have it swapped
around when pasted into my bot.
I believe it is a mistake for GNUBG to "correct" this bug when an XGID is
pasted into GNUBG. Let XG fix its own bugs! Consider that XG may correct this
in a future release, and thereby require another fix for GNUBG.
If GNUBG is going "fix" this XG bug, then, at the very least, GNUBG should
display a confirmation dialog before swapping players.
