This topic seems to relate to the earlier thread in which roles of engine versus GUI [or UI] were discussed. Intuitively, it would seem that this is not an engine issue at all. Instead, it is a question of whether or not the GUI [or UI] is designed properly. One may ask about Winboard, UCI, and other GUIs. The answers may be different in each case. Bob D.
