Description Mark Filipak 2016-07-03 18:04:46 UTC
Synaptic says this version is 4:4.14.2-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa1
There is no "About" menu. In fact, the top-level menu items are "No text" "Move" "No text" & "No text".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch KPatience
2. Start a game (tried with Klondike, Gypsy, & Aces Up).
3. Choose either "Load" or "Save As...".

Actual Results:  
KPatience spontaneously closes.

Expected Results:  
I expect "Load" to load a previously saved game (I have none saved because that fails also).
I expect "Save As..." to save a game.

I encountered this bug while preparing to file a disappearing-card bug in Klondike draw-3

[?1 JH QS][?2 10C 9S]
Play 9S, then go through the rest of the deck
                     [?3  8D 6S][?4  7C 8H][?5  8S 3H][?6 AC   9D]
-- Note position of AC above.
[?1 JH QS][KH 10C     6D][8D 6S  4H][7C 8H  KC][8S 3H     AC] [9D]
-- We discover that ?2==KH, ?3==6D, ?4==4H, ?5==KC, and ?6 has disappeared !

I then attempted to "Save As...", and that's when I encountered (and filed) this bug. Since I couldn't save the game, the info above is undoubtedly worthless.

If I can't save games, then I can't begin to usefully report other bugs.

Mine just turns the screen black for a second and then goes back to my home screen.  I am working with Huawei Media phone.  Got the latest upgrade now I have no games to play.  I just spent 3 hours trying to let you know what happened.  I cannot even find where to download the KPatience Megapack.

You need a Linux system and a KDE dektop

Too old to be useful
