[Rails-devel] FW: Bug Report 1830 Rails1.7.2

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

Stefan,

It was bug #1 in Mike Bourke's report a while ago.  You did confirm the
problem before I entered the stage, but you may not have seen the exception,
which I reported later.

Erik.

> Bug #1: Problem ending company Op round when president has been forced
> to sell shares.
> 
> Details: The B&O president has just been forced to sell shares in order to
> raise the capital for a diesel. Play then moves to the newly-launched C&O,
> but the game freezes. C&O never gets to lay track, the map window (top
> left) reads "lay token" and "no token" and both choices are greyed out, as
> are the buttons at the bottom of the map window ("Done", "undo", "redo").
> However, as soon as "save game" is performed, the problem clears itself.
> 
> To reproduce this bug:
> 
> 1. load 1830_20120415_0220_M4.rails.
> 2. In the game report, locate and click on the entry that reads "B&O does
not
> pay a dividend", then "play from here."
> 3. In the map window, click on "buy train". Note the relative order of L&N
> and C&O shares.
> 4. Sell 2 shares of PRR, 1 share of NYC, and (critical) 1 share of L&N.
Note that
> the relative order of L&N and C&O shares have changed because of the sale
> of shares.
> 5. Click "done".
