Travelled with Monza and GH Rosemunde to Monza's Private Home to assist with a problem that has been causing the game to crash in both the Web and Wizard clients.

After entering the home I was able to confirm that the Room Description window which sits above the Story window in Stormfront would flicker/ every few moments as if attempting to refresh that windows information.

reports from Monza state that when this refresh happens in the Web/Wizard clients it forces constant and rapid LOOK verb which then quickly leads to the client crashing


In the Stormfront client there is no forced LOOK when the Room Description window flickers/refreshes

I have noticed this flickering in other rooms outside of Monza's private home - Mostly in rooms where the Room Description window is disabled (either always disabled for whatever reason OR disabled due to too many players/items being in the room)


-

I believe the forced LOOK in the above mentioned clients may be caused by this section in the Room Description window: [Note: look in the Story window to get full description and character locations in the room.] (where the look portion of the Note is a linked verb)

It coud be when the window refreshes it forces the link through as if it has been clicked.
