GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 603996
gnibbles non-modal properties dialog
Last modified: 2011-12-09 02:10:53 UTC
The properties dialog is non-modal, and doesn't get its state updated if already open and a game starts. This allows you to change the game speed mid game (resulting in a way to cheat the higher speed high scores) or as I just discovered crash the game by adding worms that weren't there initially. Steps to reproduce: Open the preferences dialog. Move it aside. Start a game. Click back on the options dialog and change the speed. Actual results: It allows you to follow the steps above. Game speed changes. Expected results: From looking at gnometris, I believe that the correct behavior would be to disable starting a new game while the properties is open. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: I may look at this in the future, but for now I won't be.
