Help
I'm not sure that anyone else has this problem...but when the auction ends and I'm on lead - frequently my mouse is on the card that I intend to lead. Then suddenly the suits switch order and I lead the wrong card. Is the suit order change really important? Maybe I'm just too anxious to lead and should be more careful.

I think it's a good idea to take mouse OFF your intended lead --- review the bidding --- THEN lead
Seriously I am not sure if there is a way to stop 'auto arrange' but if there is I am sure somebody will tell you how

Strange. I didn't even know the problem existed, because I have never used the option with pictured cards. I prefer A, K, Q, 8, 7, 4, etc. And they stay where they are no matter what.
But I am quite capable of leading the wrong card anyway; just ask my partners!

I much prefer this format:

to seeing this SAKXXX HQXXXXX DXX
One suggestion to solve this problem is to allow dragging of cards as option to clicking.
Solves wild mouse problems, too.

Wots that avatar of yours fifee? A custard pie with plenty of whipped cream? Goes well with the chinese dishes we all have. The only problem is that you put on 2.3 kilos if you eat it

That used to be a commom problem, it happened to me several times, now it doesn't happen to me because:
A) I wait for the suit rearrangement before leading
if you don't move your mouse even after rearrangement it will be still poiting at the card that was below the pointer, this improvement came last year I think.
