Bug#919258: gnome-mahjongg: Can't change layout

[Richard]

Package: gnome-mahjongg
Version: 1:3.22.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Gmome-mahjongg is part of debian gnome destktop. I just start the game in
actual debian 9.6 standard desktop installation on a notebook.

When starting a mahjongg game, there is no way to select which layout to use.
It just starts with a default layout. At this time I right or left click about
everything to find a way to change the layout, but I cannot find any way to
change it.

The documentation on https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-
mahjongg/stable/map.html.de claims, there should be a menu
mahjongg/einstellungen which allows to select one of 9 leyouts. I cannot find
such a menu.

When the game is finished, there is a pop-up window with title majongg. It
shows a dropdown to select the layout.

For one thing, in the dropdown, there is only two choices: easy and ziggurat!
Not nine layouts, like the mentioned documentation claims.

For the other thing, it does not matter which of the two layouts I select. When
I than press the new game button, it always starts a new game in the ziggurat
layout.

I expect to have the chance to select one of nine layouts, when starting the
game and I expect to select one of nine layouts when starting a new game after
finishing one. And I expect to play the layout, I selected.


I use debian, gnome and mahjongg for many years by now and I am afraid, the
problems do not actually come from the game itself, but have to do with the new
way gnome user interface changed from, gnome 2 to gnome 3.

Richard
