Nymphs won't steal gold from the hero (so that their steal-item damage
isn't a superset of lerprechaun's steal-gold damage; straightforward
back when gold wasn't kept in inventory), but hero poly'd into a nymph
would steal gold from monsters.
3.6.2's attempts to fix turning off SEDUCE in 'sysconf' introduced
an unintentional change in behavior for hero poly'd into nymph form:
theft attack always angered the target. The actual change was
intentional but its ramifications were unexpected.
Asking curses to report whether the Ctrl key was being pressed during
a mouse click was sending mouse position reports--even those aren't
being requested--and actual Ctrl+Left_click was reporting a pair of
duplicate Ctrl+Mouse_position_report events when a click was actually
performed. So turn off Ctrl key reporting.
Mac with one-button mouse can be configured to send "secondary click"
for Ctrl+Click. A laptop trackpad handles that differently (press the
button while two fingers are on the touchpad to send secondary click)
and doesn't support Ctrl+Click as an alternate way to do that. If this
would work within curses then they could operate the same regardless
of how the user set the mouse or trackpad configuraiton. But I wasn't
able to make it work right.
The Guidebook claims that there's no symbol for 'S_strange_object'
which is literally true, but there is one for S_strange_obj. It has
been in place longer than the paragraph claiming that there's no way
to customize that symbol. I'm not sure why variant spelling was used.
Also, files.c doesn't use loadsyms[], it calls a routine which returns
a pointer to a specific element in that array.
would describe it as trapped if you could see its location, but if
the trap was unseen that trap would remain unseen, at least in some
circumstances. Mark the trap as seen.
Wizard mode ^E and any mode spell of detect unseen or wand of secret
door detection failed to find mon->mundetected monsters if they were
hiding under objects, and failed to find those or other hiders or
mimics when the hidden monster was at a trap location. The fix for
the latter initially only worked if the trap was known, so took two
tries when a monster hid at the location of an unseen trap. So this
makes the additional change to find both things at the same time; it
isn't manual searching that stops as soon as something is found.
Typing ^H actually passed a 16-bit value back to the core which got
interpreted as ^G after the extra bits were discarded. I don't think
any previous changes to the curses interface caused this. It's
astonishing that no one ever noticed; the world must be full of numpad
users.

mklev() set xxstairs_room pointers back to NULL upon completion.
When mklev() is called multiple times, previous state stored in the
xxstairs_room pointers can be mistakenly used when making decisions about
the new level being constructed. This caused non-deterministic level
creation behavior when replaying from a snapshot.
With 'popup_dialog' On, a prompt which exactly fills the available
width would start the next line with a space (to separate the prompt
from user's answer) and then have the cursor waiting after it. That's
unlike other behavior in the curses interface where the line split
would be instead of the separating space rather than in addition to it.
Old:
|long prompt?|
| X__________|
New:
|long prompt?|
|X___________|
where the X represents the cursor sitting over the start of blank space
waiting for user's answer.
When swallowed, you can take things from the engulfer's inventory, if
there are any, via pickup. Items might be worn by the engulfer and
when "picked up" those weren't being unworn before being added to
hero's inventory. Then they would be formatted as "(being worn)" and
could trigger warnings or worse.
Conceptually they should be worn on the outside and not be accessible
from the inside, so I've made attempts to pick up worn items fail
rather than fix up the unwearing.
Using ':' when swallowed to look at the engulfer's inventory describes
that inventory as "contents of <mon>'s stomach". That's weird for any
worn items, but the situation is so rare I haven't made any attempt to
deal with it.
Rescue some old code from bit rot. It may be useful if the shop
side of things ever gets fixed. (Itemized billing reveals container
contents. I'm sure that it's in the bugzilla list but can't find it.)
Noticed after building a curses-only binary; configuration setting
"terminal info library" is only of interest as an optional feature
when the build includes tty. There were several other settings that
apply to some interfaces and not others but would be listed if the
feature was defined (possibly after building for an interface which
supported it, then left in place when switching to another which
doesn't).
I left most of those with commented out conditionals in case other
interfaces start supporting them. So you might still get something
like "tiles file in XPM format" for a binary that doesn't support
tiles if USE_XPM has been defined for some reason.

Fix crash that can occur in decode_mixed.

Extend support for highlight rules that specify percentages from HP
and spell power to experience level and experience points. For both
of those, the percentage is based on progress from the start of the
current Xp level to the start of the next Xp level. 100% isn't
possible so is used to enable highlighting a special case: 1 point
shy of next level, most likely to occur after losing a level.
This is something I had in mind a long time ago and then forgot all
about until fiddling with the final disclosure of experience points
recently. It turned out to be trickier than expected because it needs
to check whether Xp should have a status update when it hasn't changed
but Exp has gone up. The latter might hit a percentage threshold that
switches to another highlight rule. Fortunately changes to Exp, at
least that aren't part of level gain or loss (which always trigger
status updating), are all funnelled through a single place (I hope).

Even when it was wizard mode only, the phrasing for past tense had a

tty and curses (not sure about others) when level was high, resulting
in wrapped text. That looked bad for tty, which first tries removing
indentation (just 1 space in this case), making that line outdented

Trickier bug was that ^I performs object ID on selected items while

will call the inventory routine to reformat invent. So the inventory
display routine was called recursively without having returned to

of persistent inventory window to whatever items were still unIDed.

Messages on tty which bypass message history weren't handling long
lines properly. If the text wrapped to line 2, that continuation
portion was left on the screen after whatever operation that put it
here was finished. (To reproduce: assign a long name to a monster
with a long type name so that the combined length exceeds the display
width, then move the cursor over it with ';' or '/' while autodescribe
is On.)

tty bug with multi-line prompts
This effectively reverts 1ad2415315c1e6dbcdfcd4a4b22b6fb93ccef1f2
because it was interfering with prompts that spanned more than one
line (by inserting '--More-- + erase' between displaying of prompt and
getting input for the answer).
So we're back to the situation where autodescribe feedback when moving
the cursor will leave text on the second line if it generates text too
wide for one line. (^R redraws the screen correctly.)

EDIT_GETLIN vs monpolycontrol
For wizard mode 'monpolycontrol', the getlin() answer buffer for the
"Change <monster> @ <x,y> into what kind of monster?" prompt is also
used to format the coordinate portion of that prompt, so when
EDIT_GETLIN is enabled getlin() was inadvertently given "<x,y>" to use
as default response. Clear it after the prompt is formatted instead
of via an initializer. Also, shorten the prompt on the first try:
"Change <monster> @ <x,y> into what?", expanding to the old prompt if
retry is needed.
This also allows specifying 'chameleon' when <monster> is a chameleon,
'doppelganger' when it's a doppelganger, and 'sandestin' when it's one
of those (but not 'doppelganger' when it's a chameleon or sandestin,
and so forth), instead of blanket refusal to accept any non-vampire
shapechanger as the choice.

wizweight vs globs
The wizard mode runtime option 'wizweight' appends an object's weight
to its formatted description, but that was skipped for globs on the
assumption that it had already been included. But that inclusion only
happens in shops so most globs lacked weight feedback.

muse wand/horn feedback
One of the claims in #H8849 was that a monster which zapped a wand
that the hero had fully identified made hero's knowledge of it revert
to "a wand". That doesn't happen; it had to have been a different
wand which hadn't been seen up close yet. But the hero should lose
track of known number of charges if a wand is zapped outside his/her
view. When implementing that I noticed that a monster playing a fire
horn to burn away slime was using the routine that gives wand
feedback. Add a separate, similar routine for magical horn feedback.
Half this diff is due to moving a naming support routine from mhitm.c
to do_name.c.

curses EDIT_GETLIN - discarding preloaded answer
EDIT_GETLIN is more complicated on curses than on tty due to way that
long lines are handled....
Using ESC to get rid of the default response removed it from the
answer buffer but didn't erase back to the end of actual prompt,
making it look as if it was still there. Fixing that for a one-line
prompt+answer was needed and would have been easy but it also needs to
be prepared to go back to prior lines. Both the prompt and the answer
could conceivably span lines although in practice it will usually just
be one line or else prompt+answer combined spanning to a second line.
This hasn't been exhaustively tested been seems to be working correctly.

more ^G of "hidden <monster>"
Fix a couple of glitches and add an enchancement. The monster
attributes structure left the 'hidden' field uninitialized unless user
specified "hidden". Mimics were being flagged with mon->mundetected
because they pass the is_hider() test but they 'hide' by taking on an
appearance rather than being unseen due to mundetected. hides_under()
monsters fail the is_hider() test, but can become mundetected if there
is at least one object present. Eels/other fish are neither is_hider()
nor hides_under() but can be mundetected at water locations. So alter
'hidden' handling to deal with these various circumstances.
Asking for 'hidden' for any type of creature will result in having its
location be highlighted if it can't be actively seen or detected. So
using '2000 ^G piranha' will fill up the Plane of Water "normally" but
'2000 ^G hidden piranha' will result in a ton of draw-glyph/delay/
draw-other-glyph/delay sequences and take a painfully long time. Moral
of the story: don't combine 'hidden' with a large count unless you
want to spend quite a while watching the level's fill pattern. Turning
off the 'sparkle' option will cut the flashing in half but still take
a long time. If you really need to fill a level with hidden creatures
and can't bear the flashing/highlighting, use blessed potion of monster
detection or #wizintrinsics to have extended detect. Then all created
monsters will be seen so none will trigger location highlighting.
If you create a 'stalker' or 'invisible stalker' or 'invisible <other-
mon>' its location won't be highlighted, but for 'hidden stalker' or
'hidden invisible stalker' or 'hidden invisible <other-mon>' it will
(provided you don't actually see it due to See_invisible or sensemon()).
