[40d16] Adding notes to embark map, drops 'e' and space.
« on: December 24, 2009, 06:42:41 pm »

This one's pretty odd:

While hunting around on a new map for places to drop an embark, I found a spot I wanted to come back to.  On both machines I've tried this on, however, I ran into problems while writing the note's text to identify what I liked about the place.

Namely, the letter 'e' and the spacebar would generate no result.  Interestingly, if I hold down shift while typing it works just fine (except that I get an 'E' instead.)

To give you an example of why this is a problem...

This sentence would look like this: Thissntncwouldlooklikthis:

I tried to search for this on the forums but it won't take 'e' as a search term, and 'note' was useless. Sorry if this has been reported.  I don't have this kind of input trouble in any other mode.

Well, can you share the folder?

If it doesn't happen to others with the same folder, then I'd blame it on a witch.

I keep thinking glacier fortress would be fun, but it always ends up as cave layer fortress.

Probably 40d16 input weirdness.

Can I do what with the who now?  This was on different machines, in different states, that have never spoken, to my knowledge. :P  I think that's what I like to call "Verification enough."  Try it on your copy if you doubt it. :P

While it's not on the embark map, the Fortress-mode analogue suffers a similar problem with the control keys for that notesystem (p, I think?)

d16's input system is really wonky at the best of times.
d17 will fix it, whenever that rolls around.
