2. When you search for a player and tables come up, sometimes double clicking on the tables doesn't open them. This usually only happens if you don't currently have any tables open.

This is not a new problem.

A typical example occurs when the lobby is currently displaying 2/4 LHE tables. You search for a buddy and discover he is playing 1/2 LHE on Table 87223. You doubleclick the search result to open Table 87223 and it doesn't work.

The apparent problem is that your client doesn't know anything about Table 87223. If you were looking at 1/2 tables it would have the complete list of 1/2 tables and the click through would have worked. In fact if you had ever looked at 1/2 tables it would have worked because your client would still remember the list. Of course this assumes that Table 87223 already existed back then.

The most common form of the problem for me is when a buddy shows up at the limit I want, except he is playing at a Bad Beat Jackpot table. That's a separate place in the lobby and I rarely open it. As soon as I change the lobby to look at the BBJ tables and it refreshes, the click through in the search results starts to work.

The new release is different in that sometimes you get a misleading error message. It always used to be that nothing at all would happen, as if you had doubleclicked on something not meant to be clicked on.
