Mahjongg's timer stops working

[Alperen Yusuf Aybar]

Mahjongg's timer stops working after "Sorry, I was unable to find a playable configuration." message.
This is hard to reproduce, but I came across to it twice times.

After clicking OK button, you can undo unlimited moves, and since timer has stopped, you'll have unlimited time to finish to game.

An annoying bug which can be used for manipulating the high score list.

Thanks for your report, Which version of Ubuntu and gnome-games are you running?

[Alperen Yusuf Aybar (alperen)]

I'm running Gutsy with Mahjongg 2.20.3

I've just have a look at Mahjongg's source code from SVN

~~~~
on line 1233;
    game_over = GAME_DEAD;
    games_clock_stop (GAMES_CLOCK (chrono));
    mb = gtk_message_dialog_new (GTK_WINDOW (window),
     GTK_DIALOG_MODAL |
     GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
     GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR, GTK_BUTTONS_OK,
     (_
      ("Sorry, I was unable to find a playable configuration.")));
    gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (mb));
    gtk_widget_destroy (mb);
~~~~

If it's a game over situation, then undo button must be destroyed too.
But I prefer continue playing with a penalty by going back to previous moves.

the clock mainly runs fast when you think you have completed in a fast time of about 3 to 4 minuets it actuaully
indicates up to 12 minuets

[Alperen Yusuf Aybar (alperen)]

Alan, are you aware of hint and shuffle penalties?

[Alan Stevenson (alanstevenson)]
