0006911: G< sometimes avoids untried upstairs - Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup Tracker

Notes
(0022275) crate (reporter) 2013-04-13 06:06	I don't feel like this is a bug. G always avoids unknown stairs when it's possible. This means that it is safe to use. Using G< or G> and using unknown stairs in place of known stairs makes it significantly less safe.

(0022311) Cryptic (developer) 2013-04-17 15:08	I would agree that this is not a bug (although I initially came in here wanting to support the proposed change, crate makes an excellent point). Using the nearest stairs would (very frequently) break autotravel when using G.

(0022314) Medar (developer) 2013-04-17 15:31	The bug report isn't about whether G< should or shouldn't take the unused stairs. It's about that behavior not being consistent. And that's definitely a bug.

(0022315) neil (administrator) 2013-04-17 15:44	As I understand it, what is currently supposed to happen: * Travelling to a particular point on a level uses known stairs only. * Travelling to a distant floor uses only known stairs on the intermediate floors. * Travelling to a level without specifying where on the level can use unknown stairs from the adjacent level. G< is supposed to fall into this case, but apparently is inconsistent about it.
