Known Issues

Variant bids depending on vunerability or variant systems for opponents are not well handled. Can append chars to valid bids to work around. You can not download a document from a web page in anything other than html or text mime type, despite being properly formated, this causes excel to issue a security warning when opening the excel save file, no known workaround. Systems View can be slow on weaker computers and mobile devices with a high depth setting.
