Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
At move 256, a player made an inadvertent cue bid, inviting the 18 to be called. No one overbid, and he got the bid. But he said he did not have the card he had (accidentally) invited to be called. We thought a player was required to have the card they were inviting another bidder to call.
-
• Please explains what you wanted to do, what you do and what happened
Check the hands at move 256 and see whether the player who made the cue bid actually had the 18.

Report history
(a) as first bidder you can bid whatever you like, but if someone else accepts the presumed invitation, you must bid on to indicate that it wasn't actually an invitation
(b) if you don't hold the required card for an invitation, you must bid 3, but nobody else bids, you are then allowed to take fewer than 3 if you wish
(c) if you don't hold the required card for an invitation, you must bid 3, and if nobody else bids you must take 3
The last variant is somewhat marginal, the other two are widespread. My implementation uses (a) on the basis that in (b) we make life easier for the player with a strong hand. Force them to make a decision instead: "do I want to risk getting too many trumps, discarding some, and then winning a game of little value OR getting even fewer cards than I'd like and possibly struggling in a higher value game?"
BTW there are (quite wordy) tooltips provided for bidding button explaining what exactly each bid means. If a bid isn't legal then its button won't show up - anything you do see is legal to say. Admitedly the tooltips won't help you if you're using a touchscreen.
(Also, if you're doing very little cue-bidding, you're doing the right thing. That's meant for strong hands where the two high honours have a good chance of winning a game of one or solo with at least trull, even against the pagat and the XX. Under 6 trumps you shouldn't even consider a cue bid, but I'm not sure I've done it more than once or twice even with 6.)
