0011595: ctrl-[ throws an error - Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup Tracker

Notes
(0032537) advil (administrator) 2018-08-09 19:06	It seems like it might be a bug that webtiles is passing that key combination through to the crawl process at all, console via dgl ignores it in my testing. (I think the behavior change you're seeing is intended though, if ctrl-[ works it's doing something like sending a SIGHUP to the crawl process, which crawl is supposed to interpret as an error.)

What's happening is that the server detects navigation off the page and kills the process, but because you aren't leaving the site, it still sends you the popup after killing the process. I think this could be signaled more clearly, but that's one of those browser shortcuts that it's a bit hard to prevent or do anything about. Given that, I'll probably close this.
