A friend of mine had an issue when playing backgammon today. All her checkers were in the home board, some were on 1 and some were on 6. This is what happened when she tried to bare them off:
It's your turn. You roll the dice: 6 1 You take a checker out of the board from point 1. // she pressed enter twice on point 6 This move is impossible. You move a checker from point 6 to point 5.
It seems that the game thought that she used up her 6 to take a token off the 1, which isn't needed since there was an actual 1 she could use, and according to this guide even if she had no tokens on point 6 she would have to use the next highest point to bare off, so probably point 5 or point 4.

It is not a bug and it is a bug if that makes sense.
When your friend rolled a 6 and a 1 your friend should have chosen 6 first then chosen 1. I have made this mistake when I first played gammon. In real life you can choose which token you want to take out first but not in the PR version. If you take out the token on 1 the computer will assume you have used up your 6, leaving just the 1 left.

3. Sylphrena,
Nice find, I can also reproduce this bug. Most clear example: You roll the dice: 5 5 You move a checker from point 15 to point 10. You move a checker from point 10 to point 5. You take a checker out of the board from point 1. You take a checker out of the board from point 1.
Additional roles while the token is still in 5: You roll the dice: 5 6 You take a checker out of the board from point 2. You take a checker out of the board from point 4.
