Beware minimising the View Movement form
« on: March 10, 2023, 09:53:22 »
After selecting a movement it is useful to view the movement and select 'Table Card'. This shows where to place the boards for the first round which is essential if playing a Howell movement. We have found that if you minimise the form rather than closing it, the form disappears completely and cannot be recovered to close it. In this state BridgeScore is frozen and nothing can be done.

You can in fact see a little icon at the bottom left hand side of the screen as shown on the pictures. If you click on the heart icon it will display a menu with Restore / Close options. If you click on double window it will just restore the minimised form. I admit this not very obvious and the minimise button is completely unnecessary, so I will remove it in the next release of BridgeScore.

In the new release of BridgeScore, version 4.1.0, this problem has been addressed.. The form will automatically expand to show all tables i.e. there is no need to maximise it. You then just need to click on the Close x on the top right hand corner of the form to exit/close the form, there is no minimise any more.
