premove glitch

I'd like to report a glitch in which an unclicked premove happens in crazyhouse where a random piece drops onto the board, on my turn, while clicked over to a separate tab that I did not execute. It's happened twice, the first one while reading news, the second while chatting in lichess inbox.

In both cases, the following moves were never made by me, and definitely never even contemplated as possible options. When I clicked back from the other tab expecting it to be my turn I found that the glitch had happened and it was my opponent's turn again.

13...Q@F5


14.k@h4

First of all, its 14. N@h4.
Second, i don't understand.

you're right, my auditory processing disability had substituted by using "k" for "knight" but that's obviously incorrect. Thanks for catching that.

TBH writing because it has happened a third time today, while I was playing in browser with the glitch automoving me with 24.b@e3.

You can see in the move order I did premove but was expecting to have a chance to take back the with the light-squared bishop and was then surprised when it looked to me like black got to move twice in a row. I'm sure I did not actively premove 24.b@e3 so here we are again, reporting a similar glitch occurrence.

So you didn't even premove B@e3?
That sounds really suspicious. Is anyone hacking you?
There's an odd glitch with realtime playback in the analysis board where if you gave the opponent extra time, the next few moves by your opponent will be played as if they were pre-moves as the clock increments.

> yah it's weird, it only happens when more valuable pieces are at stake, too...

Yeah. Really feels like it's hacking. If it was a glitch, probably it'll be randomly placed and not always valuable pieces. I noticed that they appear always under attack
@spidersneedlovetoo i doubt it is hacking but to put your fears to rest you can go to settings security and check if there is any unknown devices that have signed in.

Can you try a different browser and maybe different device to gwt rid of all other factors
