#78 First Letters "My" Block Display of Custom gif

[Tyrin Price]

Using scidvspc 4.25 in Linux. Any custom gif photo I create that starts with "My" will not be displayed. I found this by trying to create a 100x100 gif of "Myagmarsuren, Lhamsuren" who is featured in Bobby Fischer's 60 Memorable games. If I change my gif to My.gif and a game with a player named "My" then the gif will not be displayed. If I change the file to "yagmarsuren, Lhamsuren" then it will be displayed with a player named "yamsuren, Lhamsuren." It will also display if I put an "a" before the "My" as in "aMyagmarsuren, Lhamsuren.gif" and the corresponding player name.

Somehow, the first two letters "My" prevents the gif from displaying. Weird bug.

BTW, I tested with lowercase "my" and the custom gif is displayed. It refuses to display any gif that begins with "My."

Found two more sets of initial letters that prevent a custom gif from being displayed... "Le" and "Re" ... surprisingly I also found this from one of Bobby Fischer's My 60 Memorable Games opponents, "Letelier, Rene."

This makes me wonder what other initial letter combinations have this problem ... and why!

The problem was you are making a photo for an aliased player name (which is not easy/possible to know about).

This should be fixed with commit 3564.
Otherwise, have a look in spelling.ssp and change your player's name to an unaliased one.

Thanks!
