Two Games at Once?

So, I joined an Arena. I'd lined up a partner. But because he was finishing a Crazyhouse tourney, he wasn't in the Bug tourney yet.
So, I was hooked up with another player as partner. Soon, my (agreed) partner joined the Arena tourney. Suddenly, I'm in that game! With that partner.
My other game didn't end. It continued!, but I couldn't see the game.
I could hear my partner's tells, which became desperate "please move" requests. But I could do nothing. Eventually, we lost on time.
Very weird! Has anyone else seen this?

I submitted a Bug Report. I suggested:

  • Don't have a player playing two games at once. It's not good for the player, and really not good for their partner.
  • If a player is partnered with someone, don't pair them in any games until the partner joins the tourney.
  • Bughouse Arena should not start immediately after the Crazyhouse Arena. Many of us play both, and it can make it difficult to coordinate playing with partner in the BugArena.

If your partner does not play with you, you should first cancel the partnership with him and then look for another partner

That is, of course, if you don't intend to play with that partner.
If you want to play with that person as a partner, the interface should not set you up with another player as a partner.

I mean, that should be obvious.
