#326 Clocks don't seem to work correctly

[Paul Galbraith]

I have two problems with ChessX clocks in player/engine games, are these just my misunderstanding?

If I open ChessX and select to start a new "match against engine" with sudden death time, and select the engine to start, the game begins with both player and engine clocks counting down -- this seems incorrect to me, I expect neither clock counts down until the first move.

If, instead, I start up ChessX, flip the board first (now white is at the top), and do the same thing (start human/engine match with sudden death time, engine plays first) then neither clock counts down until the engine moves (which is the behaviour I expect).

Also, with sudden death time set, the engine's clock reset's to full time after every engine move, this doesn't seem correct to me.

Which version of ChessX?

[Paul Galbraith]

I'm using 1.5.6.0 on Windows 11.

If you want, you can pick up a beta and report back, if the problem persists. See https://sourceforge.net/projects/chessx/files/chessx/beta/ for Mac and Windows Betas

I just tried the 1.5.7d beta version and it seems the same as 1.5.6.
