Why can't I castle here?

Sort:

Chess.com will not enable me to castle either king or queen side and I don't know why.

I have not moved king or either rook. I'm not in check or castling through check.

I'm assuming I'm missing something ,rather than there being a bug in the software, so maybe somebody can explain what I'm missing.

Note: this is a live game so please don't comment on whether I SHOULD castle.  I'm only wondering why I don't seem able to.

There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to castle here; that's very strange.

oddly if I click "analyze" above, chess.com let's me castle.  Indeed very strange.
