If player got Qt's saved game selection widget at startup but
picked "new game" there, the save file for the last character
in the list of saved games would be clobbered with the new
character's game if a save was performed. It wasn't necessarily
easy to spot because saved game selection shows the character
name from inside the file rather than from the file name, so the
next restore would look normal except for one older character
missing.
Noticed while testing: when you used the character selection
widget (either by picking "new game" in saved game selection or
because there aren't any save files), if you blanked out the
name field or it was already blanked because a generic name like
"player" had been specified, then clicked on "play", the program
would get stuck in a loop somewhere. I didn't try to figure out
where, just changed qt_askname() to revert to original name if
it ended up with a blank one.
Support MSGTYPE=stop by having qt_display_nhwindow(WIN_MESSAGE,TRUE)
issue a tty-style --More-- prompt. For popup_dialog Off, the prompt
gets appended to the most recent message; for popup_dialog On, it is
issued via a popup and not displayed in the message window.
It accepts <space>, ^J, ^M, and ^[ (ESC) to dismiss. There's no way
to dismiss it with the mouse (for !popup_dialog) which might need
some fix....
Several adventures along the way. The '^C-in-parent-terminal triggers
infinite loop repeatedly complaining about "event loop already running"'
is now a one-shot complaint. It isn't fixed but the severity of
having it happen is greatly reduced.
Any key bindings in player's run-time config file will already be
in place by the time the Qt menus are constructed. Those menus
will use the new key assignments rather than the defaults, so not
a bug.
The save file selection widget was issuing a complaint to stderr:
|QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to QDialog "", which already
| has a layout
This shuts that up, but doesn't fix the broken save file selection
so I haven't added a fixes37.0 entry.
Record a bunch of Qt stuff before I forget it all. It's probably
too late: I'll bet I've left some things out.
Doesn't include several menu problems that I've already fixed but
not checked in yet. (I don't have any other Qt changes pending.)
