Hi,
I think you may refer to the bug fixed with this patch
http://sourceforge.net/p/crossfire/patches/318/
I haven't seen it happening lately :-)
cheers,
k.

> "drop xxx" ("drop arrows", even if no objects match) something strange
> happens and the container disappears from view while remaining open.
> Dropping an item with the mouse from the inventory doesn't do this.

> Moving away from the (unseen) container will normally close the
> container and it will appear back in sight. But if you open a second
> container on the ground while the first one is unseen, the first
> container never gets closed correctly when you move away from the spot
> (rather strange messages get displayed "You close second container
> (open) (active)", "You open quiver (open) (active).") and spooky action
> at a distance ensues.
>
> At this point, trying to pick objects other than which fit into the
> container will result in "You can only put arrows into the quiver (open)
> (active).", picking up arrows from the ground will magically transfer
> them to the open container and using the keyboard comma (which usually
> picks an object from the ground) will retrieve arrows from the quiver
> into your inventory.
