Created attachment 141205 [details] Screenshot showing incorrect hint. SUMMARY It's only an invalid hint, so doesn't affect the game itself. See screenshot. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Play as normal. 2. Had "Winnable" showing. 3. Clicked the next set of cards to lay across. One set is still to play. 4. "Winnable" still showing. 5. Clicked "Hint". See screenshot. OBSERVED RESULT non-movable card suggested by Hint EXPECTED RESULT Moveable cards to be suggested. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: Platform Version 4.14.38 KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: qt-4.8.7-x86_64-4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I had "Winnable" until the final set of cards was played when it went to "Unwinnable". I was going back and forth trying to find sequence that didn't end up as "Unwinnable" when I spotted this bug. ============================================= DETAIL The card (5 Hearts) the hint suggests is behind a card of a different suit (8 Spades), so cannot be moved. After taking both of the legitimate moves: - 10 Spades to Jack Spades, (hint shows valid cards) undo Queen Spades to King Spades, (hint shows valid cards) undo Then undo, redo to get back to the same position, "Unable to determine ..." shows instead of "Winnable" and the hint still includes the 5 Hearts. By trying various sequences this bug eventually doesn't show. The game finished successfully.
You're using something that is *mega old*. Please update to something more relatively modern and see if it still is problematic, we can't fix decade old software anyway.

The game > finished successfully. This version is the one included with the current Slackware. I hadn't realised it is *mega old* , sorry. As I play frequently and this is the only time I've seen any problem in years of use, I will get around to updating.... one day.
