A few quirks still remain, though (these are not actually "bugs" in the true
sense):

- hash fill rate display is much harder to read (medium green on grey)
  in the standard font (AriesSP or whatever)
- managing CBH and CBV files can cause unwanted overwrites:
  * suppose you have an archive test.cbh
  * click on "Archive" to create test.cbv
  * add a game to test.cbh
  * now open test.cbv
   => the newer test.cbh is overwritten with the contents of test.cbv!!!
  There should be either a warning "Overwrite existing CBH file? (y/n)"
  or a check of the file state "Existing file is newer!!! Still overwrite?".
- the "variaton board" is always inactive at startup. All other options are
  saved on exit, but not this one.
- searching for an annotation like "!!" correctly positions the cursor before
  the move where this annotation appears if you load one of the found games,
  but not if the annotation appears inside a variation. in that case, the
  cursor is set to the final move of the game.

I think there have been some more, but that's all I can think of right now.
