Create game -> help to move: no choice of which side is to move

[LinuxOnTheDesktop]

I used the 'create a game' -> 'opening' feature(s) to set up the French defence, advance variation - with me playing black. Then I used 'help to move'. In LucasChess 11.6, that generated a blank board:

In 11.7, 'help to move' worked. But, before that stage - and only in 11.7 - there was no option to set whose turn it was. Is that by design? The program decided it was black to move, which was (necessarily?) correct, but the board was not rotated accordingly.

Also: in both 11.7 and 11.6, the board wherein one sets up the opening is almost unusably small.

I can´t replicate it.

Thanks for the response, Lucas. So: when you try to reproduce the problem, the program does ask you to determine which side it is move?

[lukasmonk]

No. Are you are talking about Config-Enable engine?

[LinuxOnTheDesktop]

I have no idea what you mean by the 'Config-Enable' engine, I am afraid.

Thank you for the information.

Surely a change is needed. Here is why.

At present, in order to set up a game (a position) against an engine and have the engine move, one must know that one must click 'Config' and then 'Enable engine'. Perhaps, instead, the program could show a dialogue asking whose move the user would like it to be. The status quo will lead to bafflement and possibly more bug reports. Or so it seems to me.
