I doubt that this is the same bug. When observing, the new moves have always
appeared unless I've been using the move slider on the bottom of the window.
If I've used it, sometimes the moves don't appear until I move the sider
again. This is at least how I think it's been the couple of times I've
witnessed this bug.

Not likely as I try to do nothing when a new window opens - however, I have
the gut feeling, that the more gGo windows I have open or have had open, the
more likely it is that I won't see the first black move if I play white.

*No, they are not*. Refreshing the window in any way does NOT help. Only
using the IGS refresh-command (I use the command line interface) works
AFAIK. Resizing boards, moving other windows over it or whatever does not do
anything. Also even after I use the refresh command, I must send my first
move manually via the console as gGo does not recognize the blacks first
move as the previous move and doesn't allow me to use the mouse to make a
move.
Small bug:
I had two chat windows open in the chat area (?). After the game was
finnished, my opponent thanked me, but his chat window did not pop over the
other chat window.
Bigger bug:
I edited a game I just finnished, and in the edited version of a finnished
(opponent resigned while in scoring) game the first black move was missing.
This is kind of funny (I enjoy dark comedy) considering all the problems
with the first move in gGo :)
