Feinting stacks

zudensternen

Question on a nice Freecell user interface touch.

When you click somewhere up in a stack of cards, most of the time when there is no supermove that can satisfy the click, nothing happens. Sometimes though the stack below your click "feints" toward the free cells and then quickly returns to its place. It's as if the cards are saying: "I'm trying, but no!" Usually this happens only once — if you click again in the same place you don't see the feint.

@jim / @david — I haven't been able to figure out a pattern for when the feint does and doesn't occur. Is it perhaps when a supermove is just one card away from being possible? Any insight to offer?

by any chance, zudensternen, are u sitting on a "feinting'" couch while playing?

@tucsonsky <puss-in-boots voice> No, but for you, I could be.
