The GUI is supposed to call the flag if autoflag is enabled. Were you playing on a chess server? If you were, then the change could be explained by lag, because timeseal (and/or timestamp) adds time when this is the case to prevent losses due a bad connection. But you can always try to call autoflag (F5) to make sure, though I believe it's sufficient for your WinBoard to have autoflag enabled. Mogens.
