Summary

0000831: [Tiles] Tutorial sometimes highlights wrong cells for monsters

Description

There are some instances in the tutorial, when a cursor is placed over the monster that triggered a lecture: first monster seen, monster hasn't noticed you, etc.

However, if said monster is awake and fast, it's possible that the cursor will highlight the wrong cell. I've tried placing addition viewwindow() calls, that as far as I could tell, didn't change anything, and adding a more() after the message, which resulted in a "mons_unknown" tile being drawn instead. I've run out of ideas, which is why I submit this bug report.

(0002945) enne (developer) 2010-02-24 14:09	I think the issue is that the tutorial is setting the cursor before the turn has finished, so viewwindow hasn't been run and that monster hasn't moved yet. I think the best thing to do would be to defer setting the cursor until later, maybe by putting the monster on a list to check at the end of a turn.
