Bugs with mini-energy and stamina buffs

Today I encountered a bug with mini-energy packs that I've meant to share. It's important, because I misplayed it today, losing over 1000 energy.

You can get a mini-energy pack, stamina buff, or energy buff from the Zynga toolbar. There are a few scripts to get this too. I like to use the toolbar because it keeps a countdown of when I will be able to get this. However, the checklist script may work well for you too.

A common occurrence is you click to get the buff but it takes you above you maximum. The problem is if your window redraws you lose everything above your maximum. So what can you do?

First, don't change cities. If you do, the window redraws and the buff maxes out.

Second, try to change the screen as little as possible. If you are on the fight page, go to its options to use up the extra - don't go to otherpages (like the home page.)

I've used this approach to use up hundreds of extra stamina successfully.
