Bug in Chess.com: Unexpected Behavior During Castling

Sort:
Rafael_Green

I noticed a potential issue with castling on Chess.com.

When attempting long castling, if you click on the king and then click one square beyond where the king would normally end up, the system still executes the castling move instead of ignoring the input and deselecting the king. For example:

As White: Clicking the king and then b1 triggers castling instead of ignoring the move.
As Black: Clicking the king and then b8 triggers castling instead of ignoring the move.
This behavior seems unintended and could be confusing for players.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have not noticed this: I know that one must be careful when castling...I have ended up moving the king only one square numerous times
