Description Bugzilla Maintainers 2002-09-12 16:55:47 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kbackgammon
Version:           2.5.0 (using KDE 3.0.0 )
Severity:          crash
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Red Hat 7.3

When running kbackgammon and playing a game
on FIBS the application always crashes
in the following situation:

1)I just rolled the dice.
2)No move is possible for me all positions
  are blocked whether I'm coming off
  the bar or not.
3)I pick up one of my pieces to move before
   my opponent rolls the dice (I don't always
   immediately notice when no move is possible
   so sometimes I'll pick up a piece by
   accident)
4)As soon as I let go of the piece by
  letting go of the left mouse button the
  application crashes.  My opponent wonders
  if I'm dropping the game (the bug usually
  happens when I'm losing since it only occurs
  when all my pieces are blocked).

One possible solution would be not to allow
a piece to be picked up unless a move is possible though fixing this at the source
would certainly be better.

Please compile with debugging and provide a backtrace.  this is very time consuming to 
reproduce. :)

Would help, but I've stopped playing gammon a while
ago. Perhaps someone else using the software can
do this: it's not too hard for a regular player
to generate the bug, it can happen almost every
game.  I avoided it by not picking up a piece when
no move was legal :-)

Is this bug still present in a recent version of KDE, such as 3.5.8 or KDE 4.0 RC 2?
Comment 4 George Goldberg 2008-02-22 05:09:01 UTC
Closing due to no response by reporter. Please reopen if this bug can be reproduced in a recent version of KDE, such as 4.0.1 or 3.5.9
