With all this discussion of different flavors of Linux, I've got to ask... has anyone else running SCID on any platform experienced the problem I described in my earlier post about a week ago (comments disappearing while browsing through variations)? --- On Tue, 5/31/11, Benoit St-Pierre wrote

There are multiple flavours of Mint. AFAIK they are all Ubuntu based except for the Mint Debian flavour. I am also an ex-Ubuntu user, but found later versions to be painfully buggy and difficult from a UI point of view. I have used Fedora before but found the lack of packages a nuisance. Mint is
