According to the rules, you must play both dice if possible.

That implies that 2/off with the 5 and not playing the 1 is illegal and only 2/1* then 1/off is possible.

Of course it doesn't matter here, but detecting these cases and accepting 2/off looks complications-prone.

What may be done is giving a better feedback to the player. Currently, during play, the only hint that something is wrong with 2/off is that it is displayed in red (under the board, above the match length).

Release actually "gnubg-1_07_001-20221114-setup.exe"
Player through 5:1.In player home board: player counter on 2 gnu counter on 1 only.
Click on player counter to bear off with 5 and expecting game to end. Game freezes and will not finish with popup score notice.
Move player counter 1 onto gnu counter which goes to bar. then bear off player 5 and all is completed fine.
