Possible bug: forced to leave dinner prematurely?

Although it hasn't happened to me directly, in the past month I've had two acquaintances exit prematurely from dinners that I invited them to, and in both cases they reported that leaving was the only possible option. I don't know if that means the choice to exit was the only one visible, or if the requirements for the option to continue with dinner were somehow not met.
Has this happened to anyone else? And if so is there any way to prevent from happening this in-game, or should it be reported as a bug if it happens again?

I've had that happen to me, twice. Leaving prematurely was the only option - no backing out or continuing. Both times it was on the phone app, but I didn't have time to think about it much at the time, or try to figure out what was going on. I thought maybe the person who invited me has left London, or something like that.
Social actions on the app are generally iffy at best. Coffee at Caligula just outright doesn't work there. So I just try to make sure to do all dinners on the computer, not the app.

I have also had acquaintances run into that issue. As Tozh observed, in each case they were using the app. When they switched over to the browser version of the game, the problems ceased. I don't know if it's an issue Failbetter's aware of (probably is), but I would got ahead and have your acquaintances submit a bug report for it. (It's really their issue, so they should be the ones submitting, if possible.)
