Oh yeah - just checked in my game. Never goes north, never goes north-east either. I would never have noticed, mind you, as I squelch them on sight.

I am having an issue with my term window shapes and sizes saving with the "save subwindow setup to pref file" option (which I assume is supposd to save your term window setup) in 4.0.1. They save sometimes, but rarely, which is a bit weird.

I don't know if this is a new issue or not, and it isn't game-breaking or anything, but it is a wee bit annoying to have to readjust them every time I open angband.

I changes term 6 to show the character extra(?) and when I start the next character (reading the save file for the dead character) I have term 6 back to its original default. Annoying not critical.

I've had several instances of Angband crashing to the desktop when performing certain actions.

Once was reading a Scroll of Acquirement. Would crash when read and generating object.

Crashed when trying to recall from town back down.

Crashed when trying to go down stairs from L34 to L35.

In each case, I could reload the save file walk around a bit and then complete the action successfully. It's as if the game didn't like the number of game turns I was on. Although in all cases waiting only one turn would still result in the crash.

So you reload a savefile, and then there's an action that crashes it immediately? If you could post a savefile like that, that would be really helpful.

For the other bugs (so far) in this thread - the subwindow preferences I have a plan to fix, and the Starlight issue is an indicator of a potentially larger problem, which I'm currently trying to make sure gets completely fixed.

So it's real? Phwew. haha I'm glad it's not just me being silly. A suggestion from myself, to yourself: Switch the default locations for monster recall and item list. The item list needs more room vertically, while monster recall works better horizontally; hopefully that makes enough sense. I've been on an Angband binge and have been playing for about 15 hours straight. brain is a bit fuzzy

I'm sorry. I think I caused that bug. I think it's related to my enlarging the home with too much crap in it. I started dumping some stuff and the crashes went away. I'll see it if comes back again if the home gets full again.

Angband 4.0.1 dev 87290c6

Unexplained crash while running. No savefile, as not easily replicable. But, I do have a suspicion. Running into an unknown teleportation trap may be the cause. If I can get it to replicate, I will attach a savefile for you, Nick.

I can't replicate with a teleport trap - it still may be, but keep an eye out for other possibilities too.
