When I insert 8 in r7c7 and 6 in r7c8 the solution is correct. Both candidates 6 and 8 fulfill the conditions of BUG Typ 1 but there are two and usually BUG1 has only 1 threefold extra-candidate in the whole grid.
Bug 4 has two threefold extra-candidates in the grid but their cells are connected with a number showing up twice only in the respective region. Thus this number together with the two threefold candidates would expell the third candidate out of their two cells.
But this is neither the case here. SE solves it with a simple forcing chain but I hesitate to do so.
Is this a BUG or just a solution working just by chance I did?
With best wishes
