I have just encountered this issue and I am disturbed by it. Every body of written tournament poker rules I can find speficies a dead button. PokerTDA uses that, WSOP uses that, even PokerStars Live events use that.
So why in the world does their software behave differently?
To the quoted post, doing it the correct way in an online game doesn't bother new players. They don't have to understand it and would probably not even notice it.
To me the only way to create confusion is to have software that works in a completely non-standard way -- and it seems sad to me that Stars has not fixed this after all these years.
