Is it a diamond or is it a club?

[Kaapo]

Take a look at this lin-file (you may have to save it on your disk):

testfile

 

(Never mind the bidding, the deal's made up!) If you load it and move the mouse pointer over the alerted bid of one spades, the cards in dummy change places. But, at least for me, the last card (on the right) gets corrupted: it's half club, half diamond!

 

It appears this problem is not present for everyone. I'm just wondering if it happens to anyone else but me?

 

Here's a screen shot of what it looks like for me (no editing done except .bmp -> .jpg):

So actually at least the last three cards have a wrong bottom (that of the club honours). If I click the next button, the view gets repainted.

I do not see the half club/half diamond on my screen. The cards do jump around however.

 

You may want choose the text view instead of the card view. In the text view.

 

1) The cards never move around, spades are aleays on top. This means, when bidding is over, you don't click one card to lead only to have the cards shift and another card is lead.

 

2) The clickable space from one card to the next is very large.. it is not impossible to misclick, but misclicks on card play greatly decrease.

 

3) This problem you have would be a non-problem.

 

I kibiz with cards shown like you have in your bitmap, I play with cards in the text mode. To swtich between modes, click on icon in the middle of the bottom row on the screen that looks like two spade ACES.

Strange but I'm the other way round. I kib with text mode. It's then easier to feed hands into my DD solver.
