When game ends

After the game is over and I go through the moves , if the player leaves then the there is an adjustment to the screen

when I am clicking the arrows to see the moves I end up hitting analyze or the players name because the screen changes

very annoying.

is there anyway to fix this?
The screen changes because when the player was still on the game you had a rematch option but when he goes away the option gets removed and this is what causes the screen adjustment.
It is bad design that controls appear, disappear, and move depending on the actions of another user. Other users' actions should never be able to make controls appear, disappear, or move on my screen. No exceptions. However, in some cases controls could be disabled depending on the actions of another user. The mis-clicks caused by the bad design are super annoying.
A good, fast way to fix this would be to grey out the option when it is not available (a rematch) but leave all of the options in the same place, that way, options don't change under your fingers as you go to press them.

In addition, having these options appear immediately after a bullet game means I press them accidentally (intending to make a move). For example, sometimes I've requested a rematch when I actually have to stop playing (because I was trying to get a move in when the time ended).

It would be nice to instead have at least one second of a signal indicating the game has ended and you've won/lost (where tapping it accidentally does not do anything), and then show the options.
