Rules: a rule of the game has not been respected
Detailed description
• Which part of the rules was not respected by the BGA adaptation
Re initial money, the rules say, "deal currency cards face-up to a player until the total is 20 or more". It appears that BGA is behaving as if it said "...until the total is more than 20."
In Table № 127682755, my (blahedo's) initial money was 5, 8, 7, 4. 5 + 8 + 7 = 20 so it should have stopped there.
Another bug report (boardgamearena.com/bug?id=28603) reports a "display bug" but it is clearly an example of this same issue; the reporter of that bug shows a screenshot and assumes the cards were dealt right-to-left (which would indeed be confusing). However, in Table № 127686712, one player got initial money 2, 2, 8, 6, 9, and if that were right-to-left, 8 + 6 + 9 is already 23 so it would have stopped there; another got 1, 3, 3, 6, 5, 7, and again, if that were right-to-left, 3 + 6 + 5 + 7 = 21 so it would have stopped there.

I also play the game Seasons, and for this game I know a bug not corrected for years that consists of presenting the cards played in front of a player without respecting the chronology. That is, the recently played card to the right of the row of cards can end up at any position when the page is loaded again.
I recall this bug to say that we have no certainty about the chronological order of the cards that are presented to the players at the beginning of an Alhambra game. As a result, the Alhambra rule could be respected, but there would still be a display bug, since verifying the drawing of the money cards would require that the cards be presented chronologically from left to right.

Table #130414343
Move #1
The values of my initial money are 6 2 8 1 5 1 2.
If I I was dealt my money in left-to-right order, then I was given an incorrect amount. If I can't assume that it's in left-to-right order, then what the heck is even happening?
Either way, the log should clearly show this info in the correct order.

Notabug, see #28603.
The order of display is not the order in which the cards were drawn.
