Tables stealing focus for split second
#5
It seems we are misunderstanding each other in some spots. I'll try to be more precise with the terminology I use. Thanks for bearing with me.

I'm not sure I understand this. If I can see the table and I click fold and it briefly switches to another table and I accidentally fold my hand there, are you saying this is because when I initially see the table it is not truly at the top of the stack, but still coming up? How can a table be at the top, but not truly at the top or am I thinking about this too strictly?

If you are using dedicated slots for New tables and Old tables, then those slots will act as stacks. So you may be trying to buy in on a New Table, and then another New Table that just opened (from a pre-registered tournamnet, etc) will pop in front causing you difficulty.

If you instead put both into the grid, then no tables can pop in front of them, because each grid slot only allows 1 table in it. Those slots do not act as stacks. They hold 1 table only. So nothing can pop in front of them. Did you mean 'steal focus' instead of 'pop in front' ?

What I was saying was that if I have dedicated slots then it works and there are no problems, however if I don't use dedicated slots then there are issues. I am however no longer sure whether tables pop up in front of the tables I am trying to buy in to or not. That is how I perceived it at the time, but I think what may have been happening was that I was trying to open new tables whilst the grid was full. What would happen in that case? Also with allowing Stack and Tile to steal focus, it is very difficult to buy-in, because I would have to wait till there are no longer any tables that require focus (which basically won't happen if I keep on folding hands etc. and I am playing enough tables). I'll definitely try playing without allowing Stack and Tile to steal focus next and see what that does.

No that is on but I didn't realize it only sends the table back when I click 'fold' and not when I use the 'fold' hotkey. That definitely explains away a lot of my confusion from how the software works. For example, sometimes I would left click a table, because it's something I would do with tiling when I am deciding whether I want to call or fold, but what this does is send the table back to the stack even though I haven't chosen to raise, call or fold. So basically the left click on the mouse is also a 'Stack table' hotkey with the 'Left mouse click detection' turned on right?

No, not playing rush, the reason I used the term "fast fold" was because I didn't know what else to call the fold box you can tick if you already know you want to fold in advance.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
