0006644: On occasion single tiles don't update properly in WebTiles
Playing on WebTiles, sometimes (rarely) a tile doesn't update properly. Attached is an example where Urug moved next to me after I killed a kobold, but instead of showing Urug it shows the tile for the dead kobold. This was fixed by pressing escape (for unknown command).

I later had an issue with Joseph shown holding a sling even though he was using a quaterstaff.

Hm. Could you check if there are any javascript errors if this happens again?

Happened again. Couldn't see anything in the error console.

This bug doesn't seem so rare after all. Especially incorrect weapons show up often.

Managed to make a reproducible case. If you load the attached save and move right both orc tiles show with daggers, even though one is actually wielding a hammer.

There seems to be a broken assumption that if the fg tile didn't change neither did mcache. Removing the test for fg_changed on tileweb.cc:1092 resolves the issue. I assume this would cause lot of unnecessary information to be sent though and an another test for whether mcache has been changed has to be done somehow.

Should finally be fixed in trunk, 0.14-a0-1528-g95ec8bc.
