Bug [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]: New Game Review Layout - tab change & lost real estate for move listing

Sort:

1. Why change the tab order?  It was this:


and now is this:


This is an unneeded change and reeks of tree marking on the part of the programmer. There is not reason to change it.


2. The new layout wastes a ton of display space with the unneeded Analysis header. For comparison:


Two move lines are lost in an already too small area.

Edit: 
3. I noticed the opening header sticks around now as well taking up valuable real estate.

This could just be at the top of the moves section, and scroll away, but till be accessible. Not just always be visible.

The Fixes:
1. Retain the old tab order
2. Ditch the Analysis header
3. Keep the opening header at the top of the moves.


 

While on the topic of move real estate, a layout change  to increase the available space for move display would be an improvement. As previously suggested in UI Suggestion [ ]: Analysis Report sidebar menu layout improvement a few minor tweaks to the layout would be a great improvement, as the moves are the most critical component of the display.

Here a rough layout from the above link:

     Suggested Improvement                                                              Current as of 1/1/21

 

Note also the move of the Save/Saved button and the Saved Analysis to the navigation menus, also previously suggested:

UI Suggestion [ ]: Analysis Report's Save/Saved button - make it visible all the time and 
UI Suggestion [ ]: Another argument for repositioning the Save/Saved button

I would largely agree, although the tab order seems relatively inconsequential.

I can see that, but if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Yes, but at the same time, no issue with this one either

but yeah the second thing actually is an issue

I've reported the same thing multiple times. The layout is awful.

To clarify my strong feeling about this. I use the Show Lines and display 5 lines as a quick an easy way to see the most plausible moves of a position. This is a great feature and very instructive. Having to uncheck Show Lines to be able to see the moves and/or position on a move is a pain and could easily be remedied with a few tweaks the the layout.

The key component on the panel is the moves! Not all the other ornamentations.

I’m not sure how or where to ask this: all of a sudden this has happened where the board is missing. One way to fix it is to change the color of the board.

Exactly! The lines are way more accurate than the suggestions they try to throw at you with 2x the space.

4. In addition the Game Review tab's display of the active move during review is obscured:

Here is an animated gif showing the issue:

If a suggestion is addressed, a check mark is placed the relevant 'box' to show that the issue has been fixed. There are four issues shown in this forum, so there are four 'boxes' in the title.

Thanks for explaining this, I have always been confused about it.

Library Collection game analysis is another place where reformatting the sidebar panel would provide significant real estate for move display. Here is a screenshot with shading to highlight space that could be repurposed:


This much in space total:
