opening title position changed?

@dboing

I wrote above that what we are discussing here should be adresses and possibly answered:

"I would start a thread here in this topic as I was doing some tactics, there used to be shown which opening it is played in the games the tactics are taken from but not anymore, this might be also related, would anyone care to inform us why these opening info are gone?"

After that, you and me again mentioned the issue with the opening info but still no answer? You are right about this being the place to post feedback and seek answers. Maybe we should discuss some more about the efficiency or functionality of this forum?

@Wornout1 It does have echoes, but at slow pace. I forgot to mention GitHub. There are issues there, go from the source code link on main lichess page, there is well exposed the structure of the code base, at least that which interests us, the front-end, and the UI.

Maybe the explorer is part of chessground, or some coating over it. Either there, or wherever seems most appropriate, there should be some trace of this change. when that trace is found, you would know that putting an issue there, might make it visible for a long time. If you do start an issue (and I don't know if that is legitimate, it is not really a bug, but possibly a user experience regression), please do link it over here.

But, perhaps, before the issue, we could discuss about the traces there for that change. Maybe some motivation has been made explicit.

some links that might apply:
lichess.org/source that's the lichess page with highlights for the code base.
containing:
github.com/ornicar/lila/tree/master/ui Frontend modules (TypeScript, Sass)
github.com/niklasf/lila-openingexplorer Opening explorer (Scala)
github.com/ornicar/chessground Frontend chess board (TypeScript)

Maybe the opening explorer might be priority to look for change.
It is not clear to me, if that is also about the move list explorer, how are the two often seen together actually together in code. Is it all in opening explorer? but an issue there might link to the consequent changes to be made in the right front-end module, for our issue of now buried opening title for current position in move list.

This is not a priority right now, for me, but I am willing to discuss with anybody who tries to find out there. just not taking the lead. not urgent, but important, is my current stance.

Well that was not a priority, but now it is affecting the width of the opening explorer as it is giving it the full length of the opening name, meaning a big empty space in the middle between the move and the statistics collumn, need horizontal scroll. I find this more troublesome, the wrapping problem. I hope this is just some experiment....

quick fix: (ugly but no scroll):
.explorer-box {
/* white-space:nowrap; */
in overrides, or change it to something else than nowrap.

the opening name example:
33 Sicilian Defense: Lasker-Pelikan Variation, Sveshnikov Variation

Even the menu that allows to toggle off engine, or change from inline to vertical layout of move list have disappeared from many pages, I just went to the learn page called practice, and there the bottom right menu in move list module has disappeared, which is where i use to switch back and fort the list display. Is this WIP we are witnessing, because it does not feel like improvement, maybe it is some ripple down from another needed change?

The loss of the Opening name being shown is kind of disturbing when you primarily use Lichess for your chess study. Showing transpositions and variance (to be checked with opening textbooks), is kind of a nice feature of Lichess. But now it's all gone.

Well, the friends list is back already. Maybe they'll fix the opening name next.

We're 16 comments into this topic and I still haven't seen an example or how to reproduce the issue.

@Toadofsky Well, it's really not that hard to see …

@Toadofsky Any page with move list explorer or opening explorer. Normal round pages don't show that, never have, AFAIK.

correspondance games do, puzzles, I guess studies too. anywhere you have the option to opening explorer. I have not found an exception, yet.

I apologize for sounding dumb or rude, but does 1. e4 e6 2. c4 g6 have an opening name? Or is that the point - that although I don't recall us ever showing the name after the opening ended, that you'd like to see it after the opening has ended?
