This is not a bug, that is the way the game is intended to be played.

Quote from the rules found in the AisleRiot Manual (#Klondike):
"Three card deals
Cards are dealt from the stock three at a time. There is no limit to how many times you can redeal the stock.
Single card deals
Cards are dealt from the stock one at a time. However you can only turn the stock over and redeal twice.
No redeals
Cards are dealt one at a time from the stock. There is no redeal. Play this way if you want a challenge (and some frustration)."

Thus, is single card deals, the game is stopped after 2 redeals.

I am aware of the different variations on the rules, maybe this should be marked as "wishlist".

Changed in gnome-games (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Incomplete

Thank you for reporting this issue. Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it. The game is playing correctly according to the rules. Please use 3-card deals to have continuous redeals play.
