Class:    sw-bug

System: Linux 2.2.14 i586 unknown
C library: glibc-2.1.2-11
C compiler: egcs-2.91.66
glib: 1.2.6

Description:
Normally, you click on a ball, click on a space, and watch the 
ball roll into that space if it can reach it. However, if instead 
you click on another ball -before- the first has finished moving, 
weirdness happens: that ball transfers instantly into the top-left 
space. Any further ball you try to move by clicking on it and 
clicking on another space also jumps straight into the top-left 
space. No further balls appear on the grid, and you rapidly clear 
the board as they replace each other in that top-left space for no 
points at all.

This is very bad, particularly if you have other stuff stealing
CPU: you can do this quite inadvertently just as you were about
to break 600 points. Grr!

I know the package details make this look old: I have also found
this happens on a RH 7.0 beta with Gnome 1.2 versions of glines, 
gnome-libs, glib etc. But it's not on the net so I couldn't get
the pretty list. 

(Not to upset Jacob: I did use bug-buddy to write this, but I
always save it and send it through email just for my mail 
archives to work :))
