I was in a lobby with a friend, we drew a game and headed back to the lobby. I pressed "Start" very quickly, maybe they hadn't gotten back to the main lobby screen yet? and then the "start" button was permanently grayed out. After a few minutes I alt-f4'd. the last few lines of my log file:

I sent "test" in chat after the lobby broke (when I clicked the start button and it became grayed out). It looks wrong to me that the log shows [CHAT] <pancelor> test before Received message: [lobby, can_start] - this maybe means that I was able to click the start button before the lobby was ready to start? again, it seems like I pressed "start" before they exited the previous game

workaround: I alt-f4d and we started a new lobby, it worked fine
