Details:

Another minor observation:
Load a game file with multiple games.
Close the game list window. Do some File->Load next game. Reopen Game list
window. The first game is still selected, and clicking previous/next in the
window loads different games than File->Load previous/next game.

It's ok for me, if you decide to not fix this.

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27828 (project xboard):

OK, I see wha you mean, in WinBoard. (Where you using WB too, or XBoard?) It
would be fancy if the Game List popped up with the same game selected as is
currently loaded, so that the next-game button in the Game List would do the
same as the Load Next Game menu.

On the other hand, there are other situations where the action is different.
If you write a text string in the Filter field of the Game List, the buttons
move to the next game of the filtered list, while the Load Next Game menu item
moves to the next game in the file. Should in this case the behavior of the
Load-Next-Game menu be changed? Or is it convenient to have both behaviors
available.

I will not fix this now, as I have the feeling that some serious thinking is
required here as to what should be the intended behavior. For instance, the
currently loaded game might no longer appear in the list at all, because the
filter criterion has been changed. Which list entry should be selected then?
Does it even make sense to keep the load, next-game and previous-game buttons
in the Game List dialog, if there exists such an obvious shortcut (the up and
down keys) to step through the list, and you can click the lit itself to load
a game?

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27828 (project xboard):

I only use Xboard. That might be the reason why I never saw a filter field. I
don't have a strong preference in that matter - I was even considering not to
report that at all.
