Bug 228067

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)

----

lskat sometimes terminates with no point to 
either player with the message "Game is aborted".  The display is messed 
up, and as far as I can tell there also a problem when the aborted game 
starts, which is the first card played by the computer doesn't display 
in the play area.

----

More info:

1.  From what I've seen this happens after another bug: I'm playing 
Computer vs Human; Computer starts game and plays first card.  The card 
is played but it does not display on the game play area, so Human has to 
make a guess which card and suit to respond with.  After that the game 
proceeds normally until the end.

2. Attaching a screenshot of the end of a "Game was aborted" game.  As 
you can see, the display still shows one card to be played in the Human 
deck, whereas the game is actually over (for some values of "over").

Not related, but the computer player seems to have become more stupid 
(compared to the Hard level in KDE3) with this new version (KDE4) of 
lskat.  It still cheats, though, as far as I can make out.

It seems you can reliably reproduce this bug.  If you select "New" from 
the "Game" menu while the last card played by the computer is still 
moving towards the play area, the new game started will have this 
problem.  You have to be quick to select "New" (or press ^N) before the 
card moves from the deal area to the play position.  You can do this at 
any point in the game when the computer is moving.
