Description Kotori Itsuka 2024-05-19 12:30:07 UTC
SUMMARY
When playing a game while focusing on the cards (instead of the mouse), moving the mouse near the end of the toolbar with your peripheral vision can sometimes land the mouse cursor on the demo button instead of the hint button.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start spider solitaire game
2. Click hint without being overtly careful about where the cursor is

OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse cursor sometimes misses hint and presses demo

EXPECTED RESULT
Mouse hits hint every time

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Failing a gui overhaul, perhaps a popup could be added asking if the demo mode is desired.

You may ask, "Why even bother with this?" Well accidentally entering demo mode even for short while and undoing the computer-made moves will change the ending text from "congratulations you have won" to "congratulations we have won". Naturally, when one did not wish to enter demo mode, this diminishes the sense of accomplishment of completing a game.

You can remove the Demo button from the toolbar if you don't like it.

Go to settings -> configure toolbars -> remove the "Actionlist game actions" and then if you want Hint or Deal Row buttons add them again individually.

Ok, thanks. I didn't know the toolbar was customizable.

This bug can be closed in that case.
