Why doesn't TAB treat a submerged space as a target?

Why doesn't tab move the player towards submerged spaces?

I can only guess that there are some cases where where a submerged space isn't a target of opportunity; for example if the submerged space is an ally.

What should it do when the monster doesn't unsubmerge when you are adjacent? Step onto the monster or ignore it entirely?

What file has that code, neil?

It should reach into the code and remove all references to submersion probably

If there is distance between the player and the submerged spot, TAB should close the distance to the point of adjacency, even if the weapon has reachable (since the monster would conceivably still be submerged).
If you are adjacent to the submerged spot, It should do exactly what it would do if it can't path to a monster behind a glass wall or behind some bushes/trees : nothing.

Autofight is in dat/clua/autofight.lua, and our C++-lua interface is in l_*.cc
