Othello bug?

I found myself in a position without any legal moves for me, however neighter did I see a pass button, nor did it auto pass. I suspect this happened because I was browsing through past moves, as my opponent played his move, so It maybe didnt register I had no legal moves left.
See the Othello game Ajibaba vs. megamau for reference.

Hi @ajibaba thanks for raising this. Yes this will be due to you browsing previous moves at the time an automated 'Pass' is sent. Navigating back to the end of the moves list (or just refreshing) should resolve this, and it looks like you were able to complete this game.

However, we'll make a note to look into a better solution as its not clear to the player when this happens.

ah, i didn't try to refresh but just navigating back did not work. In the end we resolved it by using the takeback function.
