When their is less than a BB of action in front of the BB, the BB should not be allowed to fold.
For instance, in game, player went all in with 2/3 a BB and it folded to the BB who could then act. With less than a BB of action it should be an automatic call so big blind doesn't mistakenly or intentionally fold.
Sorry to use "BB" so many times in a post.
BB option to fold
This is not a bug - it's a feature request:
https://poker.fandom.com/wiki/All_in
If a player is all-in for less than a full big blind and the action folds to the big blind, the big blind still has the normal options available when action reaches them. They may call or fold (and in some situations raise if the rules allow).
While folding would usually be a mistake when you've already posted more than the amount required to call, it remains a legal action. An automatic call is not part of the standard rules of Hold'em.
Preventing the big blind from folding in that situation would be a house rule or a software-specific convenience feature, not a general poker rule.

I think this could be implemented as a client configuration option, to disable the fold button in such cases if the player wants that. Or the game could require two clicks in such a situation, to prevent unintentional folds. That would of course also be a new feature, not a bugfix.
