How about an option to confirm a played card for the opening lead only. Yesterday I went to lead QD from QJ10xx and just as I clicked, BBO rearranged my hand (the auction had ended) causing me to lead a different card which was disastrous! I know I'm not the only person this has happened to and undos aren't usually allowed in the play. It's my fault for being impatient and having the lead ready but I don't want to confirm every single card which is the only option available at the moment.

Alternatively, a setting preventing cards being rearranged in my hand would also work.

Another option is to use 'hand diagram' mode, where the hand does not get rearranged and it is also clearly visible who is dummy (although you either love or hate seeing a hand diagram, independent of these advantages).

i have empathy for the problem
but even with confirm card on i have had this opening lead go astray? lol
you would have to set up an interrogative; like is this the card you want to pay yes or no
Sarcasm is a state of mind

Whatever it is it needs to be moving a mouse somewhere else. A double click is not good for people with twitchy fingers.
