Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-games

The standard minesweeper behavior allows you to right-click to flag a mine, then while holding right click down you can move two an adjacent square, add the left click and clear the remaining squares. In the Ubuntu version you must unclick the right button then two-button click to clear the remaining squares, Otherwise the mine you just flagged wont be registered as "flagged".

I realize I'm the only possible person who could care about this, but I play minesweeper a lot and am really freaking good at it. This messes everything up for me =(.

Sudoku?

---------------
gnome-games (1:2.23.5-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    GLChess:
    - Give users a helpful error message when python-support
      has missing modules.
    - Add fix for blank playing field from Ubuntu Launchpad
    - Fix improper use of openGLErrors list
    - Disable network controls when disconnected
    - Handle empty combo boxes in the preferences dialog
    - Don't disable load button on load dialog as we cannot tell if the
      user has selected a valid file
    - Catch GLU exception making numbering texture
      and fall back to non-mipmapped version
    Gnibbles:
    - Patch to support CAPSLOCK key in Gnibbles

    Aisleriot:
    - Add statusbar toggle to View menu. Makes the game more playable on small
    screens (e.g. eeepc) by allowing to enlarge the vertical space available.
  * debian/control.in:
    - don't build-depends on scrollkeeper
    - use rarian-compat rather than scrollkeeper
