Bug #2845

Finally, after over five years, bug #2845 has been closed! Originally filed against gnome-games 1.0.51, it was a request for an auto-play feature in Klondike (Aisleriot) to remove the tedious clean-up once the game is won, but the cards aren’t yet up on the foundation. Aggressive auto-play was deemed to be too startling, but the reporter (Don Beusee) had definitely identified a problem, so the bug remained open as the years ticked by. Vincent Povirk eventually came up with the solution: use double-clicking on the foundation to initiate auto-play. This removes the tediousness, while leaving the player in complete control. The only down-side is that it isn’t easily discoverable.
