This is intentional, but rather because of bad programming instead of 
having any good reason.

Once the board switches to offline edit mode when the game finishes in 
any way (this shouldn't happen with adjourn at some point anymore, when 
I implemented auto-reload in the same window like in gGo), it loses all 
pointers to the IGS classes and now behaves like any offline editor 
board, that means no popup. I guess some global pointer should help, 
plus some flag in the board if it was a previous IGS board to prevent 
getting that popup in a real offline editor window. I don't want that 
popup for loaded SGF files.

As a sidenote, I don't really like this automatic switch to offline 
editor once a game finished. Switching the sidebar looks wired. Maybe 
instead changing one of the buttons to "Edit" (for own game boards, 
observed ones already have that) would be better, so it only switches on 
user action.
