[CF-Devel] drop object bug

[Preston Crow]

There seems to be a new bug in the CVS code as of a day or two ago.

If you have a bunch of objects in your inventory and quickly drop them one
at a time, you'll get a surprise.  :) Try it--just right click as quickly
as you can to drop a bunch of objects.  You should only need about a dozen
objects to see it happen the first time.  It seems to be time-sensitive, so
it might be harder to reproduce if your server is on a different system
from the client; I'm not sure on that.



If like surprises, stop reading now.




Ok, here's what to expect when you drop those objects.  You'll notice that
as you drop them, occasionally the entire stack of objects will vanish.  If
you move to another square and come back, the objects are still missing.
However, if you try to pick them up, you'll find that they are there (use
pickup mode 4 to pick up all the objects).

I'm guessing that this is a bug that was introduced with the fix for
objects being left in your inventory when dropping them if they merged.
