Step counter in no-move games

In the leaderboard after playing a game, it shows the number of steps each person had, when they can't even move in the first place. Am I misunderstanding what steps means in this game?

I've faced this issue as well. My take on this is that steps get counted depending on how many times you may have clicked (possibly by mistake) on the street view screen. The same happened to me at times when I had accidentally clicked a couple of times, forgetting that it was a NM or an NMPZ round. For the rounds, where I didn't have any unnecessary clicks, I had 0 steps.

Do you have a link to NM challenge/classic game I can take a further look at?

Brigzy: Do you know when the challenge was created? If its an old one then it its most likely related to a bug we had when first launching Steps, and older challenges will show the wrong steps.

Looked further into it and everyone with 1,2,3,4 steps is a bug related to when we load the pano for said round. However the ones with more steps seems strange, not sure if extensions are used on these specific users end that impacts steps. Will add this internally to check further but not an easy fix to amend.
