Package:           kpat
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 3.0.1 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18
OS/Compiler notes: 

When freecell automatically clears away cards to the top right it's too enthusiastic - it clears away all the cards that will go. This leads to problems because sometimes you want to keep cards in the playing area.

For example let's say I've cleared away up to the three of clubs and the five of diamonds. If the six of diamonds turns up it get's cleared too. But that means I've got nowhere to put the five of clubs if it turns up.

So if I've cleared all the red threes it's safe to clear any black fours that turn up but no higher than that. That's what the windows version does anyway.
