[b19] Strange "ghost text" in top line

#1 Post by budswell »

Hi, had an ambush where the "You have been ambushed" alert box just had a white bar where the text should have been. The button was fine, and I pressed Enter on the keyboard and went into the fight.
During the fight (wolves) I was getting faint, oversized, dark blue text, appearing at the top of the screen where messages appear and then quickly fading away. I ignored it (there was fighting to do!), and killed them and left.
But as I walk around in the world map the text still sometimes appears on a movement keypress and then quickly fades away. Not every move, about 1 in 8. After several quickfire printscreen attempts I managed to catch a screenshot (sorry about the width - not imgw tags). It starts a bit brighter than this, I caught it about halhway through the fade.

I have this problem sometimes too. Don't know what causes it, though. Also note that this bug (or glitch or whatever this is) messes up the map.

Just finished the Merchant quest, and saw this writing on the top of the screen.

PS:This is version beta 20b
