Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Finding malayalam translation file.

[Haris I. K. V. <blu...@gm...>]

Hi,

I noticed that without setting the locale too, I'm not able to return to
the main menu from the second menu using the 'esc' key. It just quits
without an error warning. Also, the arrow buttons at the bottom right
corner disappears once we get to the second menu. That is, the menu we get
after we click 'play alone'.

Is that a bug or could we add that "arrow button" problem to the task list
of GCI?
