Relevant moves start at move 66 (https://boardgamearena.com/10/hanabi?ta ... layFrom=66), error is move 70.
I played a flamboyant and put the white 5 back into the draw pile.
When I came back (turn based mode), my newest card was clued white. Assuming it was a 4, I played it and misfired.
Looking at the log to see what happened, I saw that neither of my teammates clued that my newest card was white. The clue just... appeared out of nowhere and caused a misfire. It doesn't even show back up in the replay.

Obviously this is a display bug, but the dropdown for display bugs specifies that it's for bugs that don't impact gameplay. For a game like hanabi that is entirely reliant on the display of clues, obviously this *does* impact gameplay, so... how would you classify it?

(Also yes, I wish I had checked the log prior to playing but that has nothing to do with the display bug issue at hand)

I would go with

Rules: a rule of the game has not been followed
My card should not have been clued when neither of my teammates clued it.

Better post this in the Hanabi’s forum section.

By the way, this is a known bug : https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=27791

I figured it was a more general question, since it was about classifying bugs that were display-related but not-not game impacting. Which was why I went out of the way to describe the impact, for anybody who wasn't familiar with the game.

And ah, I did check the bug log but noted this bug as different because it wasn't about a multicolor card being clued, it was about a white card coming back pre-clued. But I see that others mentioned the same issue in the comments, so I'll update there. Thanks!

Oh, it never happened to me with non-multi cards. Good point.
But yeah, it's the same bug. In the game's code, we can see the marks are not cleared when a card is going to the discard, nor when it comes back in the deck.
