Payoffs changing unexpectedly  #40

The steps to reproduce it are as follows:

  • Configure GTE to allow 7 decimal digits
  • Save the following as a .xml file (I can't upload xml here). The game is zero-sum. Indeed, in the file, player2's payoffs are the negative of player1's:
<gte version="0.1">
  <gameDescription/>
  <display>
    <color player="1">#FF0000</color>
    <color player="2">#0000FF</color>
    <font>Times</font>
    <strokeWidth>1</strokeWidth>
    <cellVertPadding>5</cellVertPadding>
    <cellHorizPadding>5</cellHorizPadding>
  </display>
  <players>
    <player playerId="1">1</player>
    <player playerId="2">2</player>
  </players>
  <strategicForm size="{ 6 6 }">
    <strategy player="1">{ "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F" }</strategy>
    <strategy player="2">{ "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" }</strategy>
    <payoffs player="1">0 0 -4237/50000 0 7353/125000 5597/125000

0 0 4237/50000 0 -7353/125000 -5597/125000
6569/100000 6569/100000 187/1250 6569/100000 689/100000 209/10000

  </strategicForm>
</gte>
  • Open that .xml file with GTE
  • Observe the third column of player 2
  • Now, click on decimal layout, then on 'general matrix'. Note that player2's payoff has changed.

Could this be 'confusing' the online solver?
