Description

For extra reference I was playing against AI using Velici-ramp-tor precon against Jeskay Strikers precon. This happened trying to end my turn after not being able to attack because of ghostly prison.

Another note, i heavily use the shortcut keys to use mainly 3 actions: to end, to your turn, to main.
I used to end with a remapped key of "w" and then this error happened. Haven't really had much issues before, but figured to give as much detail as i can.

Error type: CLIENT - unhandled error in GUI - ClassCastException

Client version: 1.4.58-V1 (build: 2025-10-06 20:20)
Java version: 1.8.0_201
Default charset: UTF-8

javax.swing.JInternalFrame$JDesktopIcon cannot be cast to javax.swing.JInternalFrame

Research direction

Start with the reported Swing stack trace, especially DefaultDesktopManager.endDraggingFrame and BasicDesktopIconUI$MouseInputHandler.mouseReleased, and reproduce the error while dragging the GUI or using the reported shortcut. Done means ending the turn in the described situation no longer raises the JDesktopIcon ClassCastException.
