[Rails-devel] Fwd: [ rails-Bugs-3013209 ] 1835 stack order from IPO can be messed up

[Phil D. <de...@gm...>]

All,

Just raised the following bug on 1835 and thought it worth bringing up
for discussion.  I 'think' this is the only other supported game where
there are shares of a mixed type available for purchase (1856 has 5%
shares but I believe that the CGR is always either a 10% or 5% corp?).
 The game status interface doesn't really have the facility for
displaying exactly what share is the next available.

A veteran rails player will just click the cell and click yes in the
popup without really reading the message (I did, it took me a pass
round the table before I noticed I'd bought the 'wrong' share).

I'm not aware how many other games have mixed share values for
companies but is there a case here for a change to the UI to better
display what is on the cert that is offered?  maybe just something as
simple as anoter column to shows certs available rather than shares?
Not sure, just thought it was a point worth raising.

Phil

Summary: 1835 stack order from IPO can be messed up

Initial Comment:
With the attached save file:

Buy a cert of BAD from IPO (it will be 10%)
Moderator -> Forced Undo
Buy a cert of BAD from IPO (it will offer the 20% cert)

The 10% cert is being put back at the bottom of the cert stack when
the undo processes.
