Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In coop mode, I played Whale Song Euphoria, and on the first cosmoctopus move I obtained my last tentacle, which immediately cleared all cards from my tableau. I still had two moves remaining, and found that I could move and gift resources to another player. (Nice surprise, I wasn't aware of this rule, but it makes sense.) I did this, with the expectation that I'd have a 3rd move. Control switched to the other player, assumedly to allow her to apply resources to open constellation spots. However, she was then given another move of the Cosmoctopus instead of me, and gained the resources and cards as a result of that move. I'm not an expert in the game, but I presume that should've been my 3rd move from Whale Song Euphoria - it just went to the "currently active" player instead of the player that played the card. Gameplay then correctly resumed with the next player after me.

Report history
You took that 3rd move on move #294. You moved three times on your turn, as seen in the log.
Please keep in mind that the first move was part of my turn. After resetting and starting my turn over, I moved to the +3 red. This was before playing the card, and was part of the standard turn, which happened at 10:48pm. (Sorry, I don't know how to see move numbers.) The first move with Whale Song Euphoria went to +3 black. The second move was +3 red, which were donated to Kitsutoshi. The third move was made *by Kitsutoshi* to +1 red and draw a card. The turn is now pending the player who follows me.
Unfortunately, that time is specific only to you, so it doesn't make a good reference point. You can find move number in the replay, in the upper-left corner (use landscape mode on mobile), or by clicking on the log (again, in landscape on mobile) and looking at the value in the "replay from this point" link.
> The second move was +3 red, which were donated to Kitsutoshi.
In this implementation, once the donation occurs, the player receiving the donation determines how to carry out the remainder of the turn, including any remaining movement bonuses. In general, this is a result of where you've moved, but as you've surmised this is a corner case where maybe control of the turn should bounce back and forth between you and the other player. This gets really messy during online play because there's no fixed order in which the remaining actions should be carried out, so we keep things simple by allowing the player to just perform the rest of the turn. As in all cooprative games, we encourage players to communicate throughout the game and in this situation specifically.
Hopefully this provides the answer you're looking for, even if the resolution isn't precisely what you were originally seeking.
