I recently played a team match and declarer claimed all tricks. I accepted, but my partner got disconnected and he was subbed. The problem was that the substitute player couldn't see the claim box any more and declarer couldn't cancel the claim also, so we got stuck and had to cancel the match.

A temporary solution is then for the remaining defender to switch seat and accept for partner too, before sub comes in and the BUG strikes.

Tx for the warning!

The other claim bug that seems to be common is arises from the timing of the claim dialog box. If the someone claims A of B of the remaining tricks, after playing the third card in any trick, the opponent who plays the fourth card can accidently play and accept the claim which has changed to A of B-1 tricks. This usually results in a harmless overtrick scored, but can be a source of many adjustments in a tournament.

I did once get one less then I should have in this position. so it can strike two-ways.

That's one of the ways in which the OKbridge claim dialogue is better. You click on the result, not a number of tricks to take.
