Board Game Arena

I've encountered a bug in a game and want to report it, but it does not seem to fit into any of the existing categories you can choose for a bug.

Some games on BGA have helper features for playing on a computer, or for automating some aspect of play that would have to be manual in person. How do you report when one of those features fails, in a way that does not stop you from continuing the game or following the rules?

The bug I encountered is in a game that has a feature to let you auto-confirm your turn if you have no actions possible on that turn. I'm playing turn-based, was notified that it's my turn to play, and I see that I have no actions possible and the status bar at the top even tells me that no actions are possible for me, so the game knows it. However, even though I have that auto-confirm option on, it's still waiting for me to click "confirm" or "reset turn" (which would just show me how the dice rolled again, and once again tell me I have no actions possible).

I'm sure other games have other features like this which could have bugs. How do we get a new bug category added for reporting these things?

I would report either as "Rules" or "Display bug". It's neither, but I don't think that matters.

I'm going to use "display bug" this time, but I think other people will (or have) stumble into this and it ought to be fixed. Either the display bug category could be broadened and renamed, or a new bug category created.
