Attempting to read a cursed spellbook fails with a nasty effect. But a non-cursed book can become cursed while being read (malignant aura after Wizard has been killed). Assuming no interruption for other reasons, the read would finish, the spell be learned, and then the nasty effect would be given. This changes things so that if the book being read becomes cursed and the hero notices (book's bknown flag is set), the read-in-progress will be interrupted. Resuming will take the attempting-to-read-a-cursed-book path. Unfortunately, if the hero doesn't notice, the old behavior still applies. Maybe the new behavior should happen even if bknown isn't set (but then player won't be told why the interruption occurred).

Platform- and/or Interface-Specific Fixes
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
tty: M-N gave "Unknown command 'M-" with "'." finishing the sentence on the
|
|
line below it, leaving bogus '.' displayed on the top row of the map
|
|
tty: specifying all four of role, race, gender, and alignment still prompted
|
|
for confirmation with "Is this ok?" before starting play

tty: responding with <return> or <enter> during role, race, &c selection
|
|
behaved same as <escape> to quit; now it will pick [random] instead

|
|
misspelled pilemark.xbm (as pilemark.xpm)

|
|
"ad option line: "whatever-the-line-was

|
|
had 'BETA' and 'DEBUG' inappropriately enabled

|
|
is functional
|
|
X11: core bug for '`' (backtick) and #terrain commands was only noticed by
|
|
X11 interface: impossible "add_menu: called before start_menu"
|
|
X11: enable a scroll bar in menu windows
|
|
X11: support pre-selected entries in menu windows
|
