Minor auto-move fail

zudensternen

@jim @david This is not a huge deal, but I've wanted to find an example to show you for a while. To gain one more free space, I make four moves as shown. Clicking on the king should perform the first two — queen to other king, king upstairs — but does not.

Do you have the game number for this one?

jim

I would really expect this to work.

jim

Also, when you get to a situation like this, click “Give Up”. This will allow us to reproduce the situation.

Alas no, I didn't capture the game #. I'll remember to Give Up.

@jim OK, got one. See https://greenfelt.net/freecell?game=1369660279 — i did Give Up after the point shown in the attached. In the right column, clicking on the black 9 should move the red 8 to the other black 9, then move the 9 upstairs. Doesn't.

Thanks, @zudensternen. I agree, that’s what it should do, and I can confirm that it doesn't do that for me either.

jim

This is another example, like https://forum.greenfelt.net/discussion/11601/a-super-move-that-fails, where we really want to drag the 9C 8H as a pair and not split them up. Hmm.

@jim I've had something similar happen 3-4 times in last couple weeks in Forty Thieves ... where a "stack" of 4 cards should disperse in 1 click but takes 3 clicks; a pair of cards is always involved. Of course cannot give you game #s or examples right now. Next time it happens I'll 'give up' and make note of game #. Thank you.
