Not sure how to describe this.  It often happens when I am last to bid.  If I don't click really quickly on the bid (perhaps hold the click a bit) it makes multiple clicking sounds and screws the bidding all up.  I think it lets another round of bidding happen, and often ends up with no trump for someone other than me.  And during the hand, the card you would expect to take the trick often doesn't.  Even a 10 took a trick over a queen.  Happens quite often.

Hey that sounds like a fun new variation of the game. ;) We can make it so no-one knows what trump is or who Bid what. Then randomly decide who took the trick.

I have heard of that happening along time ago when Kaiser was in the Free testing stage. Back then it was the game assuming that the bid was 0 because the bid button never registered. I did make changes after discovering what caused it. Hadn't heard of the problem since then but i know its a conditional problem... meaning it only happens under very strict conditions.

If you want to test it further to narrow down "How it happens" then i would definitely fix it.
My assumption is that it may have something to do with where the mouse is positioned when you click such as exactly in between two buttons so that the computer thinks both were pressed. So if in between Pass and 7 is assumed and you have a  "Forced to Bid" then obviously the bid will be zero because everyone passed. Then if there is no choice for a trump suit then that too will be Empty and basically the highest card takes the trick.

Kevin ..once in a while my bid bar will stay up after the bid has been called ..
if I click it  after the bid has been called ...so whoever called the bid it will go to
a no trump bid for them ....

It almost always happens when I am the LAST bidder, and it seems to make a double popping sound as I bid.
