Bug: dealt the same hand twice


Siegmund

Recommended Posts

And not as a sub, either.

 

My first hand at a new table early last evening was This 3NT making 6 on misdefense. I played a couple tournaments, opened a matchpoint table again two hours later, and my first hand was The same hand making 4. It had only been played twice at that point and my two results were 100% and 0%.

 

I took a screenshot last night in case one or the other of the results might magically disappear from the database when the names collided. But both results show up in my myhands this morning, and both results show on the finalized traveler for the board:

I've never had this happen before in some thousands of hands, including many matchpoint tables opened late at night when boards take hours to complete, so I assume it's a rare bug. Let me know if I can provide any further info to help track it down.

Did you log off in between? I wonder why your name is capitalized on one line and not the other.

 

I can log in as WyMaN, for example, and this

(a) connects me to my account (so my profile and cc's are the same as if I'd logged in as wyman), and

(b) case is preserved for the session (so when I sit at a table or chat, I show up as WyMaN).

 

I wonder if the "has player X played this board before" check does a string match rather than an account match.

Further to the above: I always log in as "Siegmund." (The client is set to remember me, I don't type it in sometimes one way and sometimes the other.) A scan on myhands shows two occasions, one on December 4th and one yesterday, when my username morphed into "siegmund". I don't recall logging out and back in during that time period last night but there was a half hour where I didnt play any hands; I wonder if the window timed out and auto-reconnected, and changed to its idea of the default username or something.

 

Good catch noticing that the case had changed. Not sure why or how.
