This bug is definitely not invalid. It may be a feature, but it's a bully feature.

"Thanks for your bug. That's a feature of the gnome-mine game so you don't switch
to somewhere else to investigate on the grid while the clock is not running"

Gnomines doesn't want me to cheat? How about gnomines letting me decide whether I want to "cheat" or not. Maybe I don't want to play timed! Maybe I want to print the board and show someone but unable to bring the computer!

Anyways, those are just some of the problems with this. I think it's a brilliant feature, but it lacks a _SETTING_. That's the problem. My use case is that I want to take a screen shot of every case where it is impossible to determine which of the two or more remaining squares has a bomb and which doesn't. (About every other game I play has a case like that.)

This might not be a bug per se but the "feature" needs a setting. Just as the timing of the game does. Typical gnome to remove settings from users. :-| I apologize if I've come off as negative or disrespectful!
