    @betterlate1-0 Agree, took me by surprise. A rather abrupt way to end the game. They can ditch the default pass confirmation while they're at it. If I press pass, it means I need to pass. No need to ask if I'm sure each time.

    @dan-mitchell Dan, I realize that confirming a pass steals precious time in short games, but the real issue is that the Pass button is and always has been too close to the Swap button. Too easy to make a mistake!

    Just put more space between the Pass button and the Swap. Then the fancy
    confirm-pass window—which is a bit of overkill (sorry Lex designer!)—won't be so needed.

      @lolamoth Hi Lola. Just to be clear, we're talking about a slightly different issue, specifically about how many passes before a game ends. I actually made another thread about the equally annoying pass confirmation issue you mentioned:

      https://forum.lexulous.com/topic/393/remove-the-two-step-pass

      And I agree with you about the pass and swap buttons. They could do with being further apart. I'm not a fan of the new tiny, greyed out and rather ambiguous icons either. I'd personally space them out more and put them in big colorful boxes labeled 'pass' and 'swap' (and 'shuffle' of course) like before.

        @dan-mitchell sorry, I zeroed in on your mention of the extra pass confirmation and ran with that.

        I understand what you're getting at re: no more multiple passes allowed.

          @lolamoth It's all good. The more we talk about all these issues the better. And you're right, I did mention the pass confirmation thing a couple times as well, apologies.

                    @tigerbee I totally disagree. i hit it not "unoften" by accident and appreciate the chance to cancel that mistake.

                      @jrp32 Seems they've removed it now. I understand why some might prefer it. Simple solution is to add a 'pass confirmation' toggle under options/settings.

                        I concur; eliminating the confirmation button for passing would be more convenient.

                          I like having the "confirm pass." It's easy enough to accidentally tap that button and then you lose your turn. I have the confirm move score button turned off (that you can toggle on/off) and once in awhile I'll hit the wrong button by mistake.

                          But how about just giving us the choice and allowing us to turn that feature on or off?

                          (Referring to the android version btw, see screenshot)

                            Oh, now I know I can turn off that move point confirmation button. Sometimes I accidentally touch that button, which is very inconvenient.

                              @rtfulngine numerous times i have hit that pass or swap button by accident and thankfully, it does require confirmation on the desktop version.
