[21Moon] Can't swap share out of newly acquired corp #10261

How to Reproduce the Bug? Player-1 becomes owner of SSF [a hostile takeover], then wants to swap out the share of ITC for SWP.

Player-1 (new owner of SSF) is not offered a chance to "Trade for share of ITC" out of SSF. I expect it is because of being the new owner...

Note: in alternate playthrough, Player-4 (before losing presidency) is able to swap.

Which Browser / Platform?

Player 1 was not offered the chance to swap with SSF because the only share SSF has in its treasury is a for a corporation Player 1 sold earlier that stock round (ITC). The "can't buy a share of a corporation you sold" rule applies to swaps in addition to purchases. See Section 2.1 of the rules.

Ah! ok. that's all good then.

Wasn't clear/obvious what was blocking the trade.

Now it is documented, if someone later searches for it... :)
