Circles are in the wrong spot for some puzzles #122

Closed cameronfreer closed 3 years ago

cameronfreer commented 3 years ago

On several, but not all, circle puzzles (see example below), the circles are in the wrong spot -- sometimes elsewhere within the same word, other times farther away from the correct location. As far as I can tell, they are generally in the same wrong spot for all copies of the same puzzle, and have the correct number of circles, just wrong locations. Maybe there's some issue with the .puz parser?

hmm, interesting. agree this is probably a bug with the puz parser.
