stalls when sending a hand to a teaching table

[mink]

Hi Fred and Uday,

 

the bug I am going to report has been there quite a long time and is easy to reproduce, but I did not bother to report it until now, sorry. Maybe you already know about it, but I never saw it mentioned in the forum, and maybe it is a good idea that others know about it and are able to avoid it if it is too difficult to fix it.

 

When a hand is finished at a teaching table, a message is displayed in the lower left corner of the table area saying "klick here for lesson text" (maybe this is a little different; re-translated from German). When you klick there, the hand is displayed in another format, maybe accompanied by some text if any was entered along with the hand. Lets call this display "lesson display". You have to klick again in order to return to the normal table display.

 

While the lesson display is there, if the teacher klicks on the "Send" button in the movie window in order to restart the hand from the beginning, BBO displays both the "subsequent hand will be randomly dealt" dialog, and at the same time a message that indicates that the hand is being loaded, along with a cancel button. You hear the ticking sound indicating that BBO is busy, but you hear it forever - until you click the cancel button, thereby exiting BBO. I have a screenshot of this, please ask for it if required.

 

When I tried this, I also tried to send the hand when the lesson screen is not yet displayed because I did not yet click after finishing the hand. In this case, I accidently exit BBO, too, as the offline movie display functionallity of netbridgevu is activated.

 

Of course you can easily avoid this bug by not sending a hand while the lesson display is about to be displayed or while it is being displayed. At any other time sending a hand works just fine. But if you send at the wrong time, it is not nice to lose the teaching table, and none of the students is aware of what has happened.

 

There is another little bug in this area: When you start to type while the lesson display is there, the message is directed to the lobby and not to the table.
