**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**
Like other gnomes or self-sacrificing troops I expected the fight to automatically end when mecha gnome ran away. Instead it became my turn and I had to take an action for it to happen. (Make a match or cast a spell for example)
**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**
This happens every time the mecha gnome runs away as the last troop. Noticed just after last update by Starlite Lemming. Confirmed and video captured by me.
**Steps to make it happen again**
Have mecha gnome run away as the last surviving troop in a match. I tested with dwarven gates vs 3 firebombs and a mecha gnome but the person who first told me of it had it happen during an actual match.

Here’s my lone screenshot of the same thing happening:
I was playing Explore on D12 in Urskaya. Killed everything else. Mecha Gnome got away. I had to take my turn to complete and finish the match (see the turn marker, top-left).
