hint
old behaviour |

It's an optimization, it let's you do that because you have an empty slot on the right and it knows you could move the 5/4 there, then move the 7/6 and then move the 5/4 again. If you put any card on that empty slot it won't let you do the move (nor suggest it) Thanks for the reply. I initially thought it was a bug, but in the process of documenting I realised what and why it was doing it, including confirming that it didn't if I filled the empty column. I just noticed it because I play on 2 different machines, using different distros (Mint/Ubuntu), and they must have different versions packaged on each. I understand it's an optimisation to condense the 2 moves into a single one, and it makes sense, it's just a slightly annoying difference in behaviour when using different versions simultaneously. I have attached a screenshot of perhaps the "old" behaviour, where the 5 hearts is movable to the 6 hearts, but I have to do it in 2 steps, which the newer version will suggest/allow/perform :-) Perhaps a related feature request would be to have a preferences setting to enable or disable optimisations. Or I just need to update my software and run the same version in each place.. Thanks. Created attachment 136753 [details]

Created attachment 136738 [details] hint SUMMARY Simple Simon game suggests (hint) and appears to allow invalid moves, eg moving mismatched suit card stacks between piles. It looks like this is actually caused by condensing 2 separate valid moves into one, which makes it appear that you can make invalid moves. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open, new game, Simple Simon 2. play until there is an empty column 3. use hint function, and it will show moves involving 2 different suit types stacked being able to be moved. OBSERVED RESULT Shows and allows moves which appear invalid. EXPECTED RESULT The first of the 2 valid moves would be suggested, rather than a move which can't be made until that first (unshown) move is made. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Screenshot attached, showing hinted card highlighted, which shouldn't be valid. To move this card requires moving the mismatches cards from on top of it first.
