A bug in the hint oracle (0.19)

[Big-J-Q]

I started CSB earlier this day, and I noticed the red selection box borders (!) look bad. This is odd since I remember them working in previous versions?

[George Gilbert]

Odd, as I havn't touched that part of the code for ages so it should be identical to older versions.

Can you please elaborate as to what you mean by "bad". A more detailed description or a screenshot would be marvellous...

The blinking red selection box looks like this:

That is, there are no red lines in the left and right borders! Instead there are some blinking red dots/lines in the upper part of the screen.

[George Gilbert]

How odd. Have you changed your screen resolution and/or colour depth since it last worked? (and if so, what from and to)

[Big-J-Q]

As far as I remember I haven't. Besides, even if I have had, it's odd that everything else looks just fine.

Too bad I don't even remember playing v0.19 before back when it was released, so I can't tell if the oracle worked before.

I can confirm this in v0.19, and here's a screenshot:

Coo - if only all bugs were this easy to fix. A one character change fixed both this and the make new party bug.

Both problems are fixed in V0.20
