Hi

It has always been possible to revoke after multiple undos on teaching tables, perhaps at other tables too. But these bugs seem to have got worse recently, leading to graphics glitches (undo request remaining visible/bidding superimposed over North's cards) and also completely frozen hands/tables.
Sometimes, the four players all report seeing different problems

I have twice been forced to abandon tables

Random thought: are some of the players or teacher using the web client?

I've seen the problems in the past and always thought that they were timing related. The web client, which should be faster, may make timing issues worse or, at least, different?

It is definitely related to the Undo button, everything works perfectly until an undo request and then things deteriorate quickly.
I tried re-sending the hands rather than undo, but it is very confusing for players to keep replaying the same hand.
I was teacher, using windows client maybe one player was on flash version

Usually it will work if ONLY the teacher allows the undo; if a player agrees then there is a very good chance that subsequent bidding or play will be unavailable as far as the teacher is concerned (everything seems to freeze for the teacher at that point in time) and sometimes for the players as well. ( bidding boxes not appearing and so forth). This has been a problem for quite a long time now.
