Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-games

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Mahjongg
2. Play until there are two identical tiles on top of one another

Expected results:
Mahjongg realizes there is no solution and only offers a choice to start over

Observed results:
Mahjongg offers to shuffle the two tiles, resulting in them still being stacked, but then the game does not automatically end.

Produced in Ubuntu 10.04

Thanks for your response.

Yes, this is reproducible, so far this only occured at puzzles called "the ziggurat". You just need to solve some of these puzzles until you reach a status similar to the screencast.

If mahjongg is supposed to recognize an unsolvable status, it may have something to do with the fact that the stones in the screencast are not "at the bottom", but on a higher layer, forming some kind of bridge, see attachment.
