Incorrect game deleted when deleting multiple crashed games?

tung opened this issue · comments

I was playing on nitrohack.org, my saved games looking something like this:

a - game 1 (okay)
b - game 2 (crashed)
c - game 3 (crashed)

I decided to clear up games 2 and 3, so first I pressed 'b' to load game 2, prompting to delete the game, to which I replied 'yes'. The screen then looked like this:

a - game 1 (okay)
b - game 3 (crashed)

I pressed 'b' again and replied 'yes' to the delete prompt. The load screen then looked like this:

a - game 3 (crashed)

I was careful not to press 'a' while doing this, so it looks like either the client or the server chose the wrong game. I now get "Fatal: Programming error on server" when trying to pick the remaining game.

I don't care too much about the lost game, but there might be a problem with the load game menu after deleting a crashed game.

I wasn't able to reproduce this, nor do I see how it could possibly happen.

I'm not going to dismiss this out of hand - there may be some kind of bug in there, but if so it's not one of the simple variety.

Hmm. Well, for obvious reasons I can't reproduce this either, so everything that can be done has been done for the time being. I'll reopen this in the unlikely chance I hit it again.
