Interesting screen refresh issue:

I have a trigger that captures a HP/SP line on each round of combat, #gags it, and #echos instead a round indicator (the line being captured is not a prompt). With each round of combat, the line is correctly gagged, and the #echo appears, but only the bottom 5-6 lines of the output window are being updated. The rest of the window is remaining static. Note that no prompt is received during this time (unless I enter a command). If a command is entered, or combat ends (ie., a prompt is received), the screen will update as normal.

I'll need to see the exact trigger, along with some sample output from the MUD that fires the trigger. It would also help to see the debug files. Type

#DEBUG test.txt test.raw

and email those two files as email attachments to me at sales@zuggsoft.com. A screenshot might help too.

My guess is this is related to the optimization of #GAG along with the fixes to the IAC GA/EOR prompt support. Sorry, but this will take some time and experimentation, so it's not something I can "quick fix".

No worries, wasn't intended as a quick fix item. Not a showstopper, just an oddity.

I've seen this too.. but I can't get a guaranteed recreation. I'll work on it a bit.
