[crossfire] Drop confusion with spooky action at a distance

[Karla Stenger]

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.

> (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
