Description

I stream the finals of a tournament series I run on XMage to twitch every month. However, there are a few (what I consider major) annoyances/confusing things about how XMage handles spectating a match.

1. If a particular game in a match finishes but the match is still ongoing, XMage kicks me (as the spectator) out into the lobby. I have to rejoin the match to continue watching more games. It would be great to not get kicked out after each game.
2. When I rejoin the game, often the position of each player is switched (i.e. the player on the bottom is now on the top or vice versa). Very confusing for people watching. It would be great if these could stay locked in for all spectators.
3. Viewing each player's hand is tedious because I have to constantly be clicking the button to switch back and forth (requires 2 mouse clicks!). It would be great to see both players' hands on the screen at the same time if they have chosen to allow spectators to view hand cards.
4. Viewing hand cards as spectators is buggy. Often in game 1 I'll be only able to see one player's hand, even if both allow spectators to see hand cards. Sometimes this problem persists for the whole match and I'll never be able to see the other player's hand cards.

Thank you :D
