When moving the cursor over a position, its coordinates are only displayed in the status bar
if there is no piece on the position.

This is extremely annoying in all cases when
coordinates have to be read,
e.g. when designing new starting positions and then converting them into zrf code for fixed board setups, and also when debugging code.
Could the coordinates please ALWAYS be displayed?
At least as a menu option?

Cheers, Karl

Agreed. I run into it a lot in pbem games that involve sending only move coordinates rather than attaaching a saved game file.

I don't remember if it was that way in Zillions 1.x.

I am surprised we did not catch it during Zillions 2.x development testing.
