End game confusion

Sometimes, at the end of a game, there is no sign that the
game has ended, but I can no longer move. There were no
points subtracted from the score either.
This seems to indicate that the computer has letters left, so it
is his turn, so I can't go - but the computer can't find a word
that it can make with the available spots on the board and
what's on its rack - so it sits there.

Yeah this bug is demonstrated in this snippet from the console
below (in my example the computer players name is "Bad").

Also, I have not been able to start a new game after finishing a
game. I have to quit and restart the program.

The follow up from 'nobody' if also from me if there are questions.
Further, according to the rules the game continues for any players that
still have tiles to play, not ending until the last player forfeits, or loses a
turn due to challenge, at which point any left over tiles are subtracted
from the score.
I've noticed the game ends when the computer player decides, despite
human players still having plays.
