Oh, yea. WIth all the issues that I reported and all the bugs that you two have been fixing, I got slightly confused for a second and thought that this one had been fixed.

I tried following your directions, but I can't reproduce the bug. Do you care enough about this to have me verify it? I am not too concerned about it, but I will try to verify if you want.

tysonwilliams added a comment to T13704: Gravity activity broken .

Ah, I see my mistake. After I really did download and install the version in your link, instead of executing that version after installing it, I accidently ran the version from Ubuntu's package manager, which is version 0.81. Have been meaning to uninstall that version to avoid just this problem. I have uninstalled that version now.

I think it depends on your goal. If your goal is to teach kids to complete everything that they start, then I agree that not having a restart button is better. If your goal is to teach kids to reevaluate their previous decisions when circumstances change and new information is available, then I think a restart button is better.

I just installed that version, but I don't see the "Gravity" activity. Instead, it has a similar but different activity called "Intro gravity".

My kids also like to restart "Memory Game with images against Tux". When they realize that they can't win (because Tux has half or more of the matches), they prefer to start over. Since there is no restart button, they currently simulate the restart by changing the level and then changing back.

tysonwilliams added a comment to T13633: Integer underflow in Solar System activity.

Also, sometimes clicking left or right causes the buttons to "bounce up" from a single point below the bottom of the screen like then do after step 2. And sometimes they don't. I don't understand why this behavior differs. I expected that the only time the buttons would do this bouncing move is after step 2 and never after clicking the left or right buttons.

I just tested this using https://gcompris.net/download/qt/linux/beta/gcompris-qt-1.0-beta-Linux64.sh. The en passant behavior is better...because it is now at least possible...but its implementation is a bit buggy.
