AI getting mana for yellow match, top right yellow and blue gems now switched

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
Expecting the AI to select one gem to move on its turn but it selects and moves two. I have video where you can see the selector circle on two gems, and you can see it makes its yellow 3-match and also switches the blue and yellow gems in the upper right corner of the board. I couldn’t figure out how to upload video so screen shots are attached.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
I’ve noticed it a few times, a couple times I think it caused the AI to make two matches and get extra mana, but in any case moving more gems than allowed could cause an unfair board.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
I don’t know exactly how to reproduce but it has happened several times today while playing world event.

Reminds of a bug that got fixed several years ago:

> [@Enemy takes two gems at the start of an game](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/enemy-takes-two-gems-at-the-start-of-an-game/40140):
>
> I had it tree or four times now, at the start of a new game I make a four gem stone combo and I don’t get my extra turn but instead the enemy replies with making two gemcombos simultaniously. I don’t know if it has anything to do with it but every time the Satyr Musician was in the other team.

I just went back and rewatched the whole battle and noticed that I didn’t get the first turn. Potions activated, explosions happened, a green special mana gem exploded, green gems were created, and then the AI took its turn and my first turn was skipped. So maybe related to the other bug that was reported as well but I didn’t notice anything in that report about this specific thing.

Oh actually it is included about it taking simultaneous matches, so this report is probably a duplicate. Sorry!

What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened: After potion gems resolve and fill the board with gems, then occasionally: -if it becomes the player’s turn, the AI makes a phantom move - a gem is dragged to make a match, but no gems are matched. The player is then able to match as usual. Just a graphical glitch. -if it becomes the AI’…
