Seems that window preferences aren't saved, and as far as I can tell, there's no option to set them. For instance:

#MAKEWINDOW map open "width=30c|height=18c|scrolling=no|floating|persistant"

will open pretty much a square window, which is kind of expected. Type #SAVE to save the layout, close the session, and reopen it. The window is still there, but now it has a scrollbar, even though scrolling is set to no.

Is there a way to keep it from resetting? I don't want to have to create the window each time I shut down CMUD. Unless this is a bug, which it could be... :P

Speaking of which, is there a bug list we can view to see what bugs have been reported? I know Zugg has one, but is there one available for the public? Makes a bit of sense so that people don't repeat the same bugs over and over again. :P

The window docking system used in CMUD cannot save the "scrolling" option currently. I'll add that to the wish-list for a future version. But it should still be saving the proper size and position of the window.

No, the bug list is not available online. This has been talked about many times, and back in the zMUD days I played with a bug-tracking system called Mantis that would make them available online, and it was just too much work. My current bug tracking system is easier for me to use and ties in with the crash dump reporting system. Making those crash dumps into any sort of "human readable" form would really be a waste of my limited time, sorry.

I guess it is possible for us, by which I mean us users not you Zugg, to compile a post with bugs that have been reported online and confirmed as being on your list and sticky it. The thing is that wouldn't include anything you have found offline but would perhaps be enough to stop multiple posts online.

What do you think?

Organising such a list would be very, very difficult. How would you do it - chronologically, by topic, by poster, by importance? The list would be prohibitively long - I think the forum search feature is much more useful for finding bug reports than such a list would be.

And, of course, not every bug is posted on the forums.

Yeah, really, don't worry about it. Not only would it be very hard to keep that list updated, but very few people would read it anyway. People would still post duplicate bugs. And honestly, I don't really mind duplicate bug reports that much. Sometimes it can give me a sense of how important a particular bug is.

Well I created the topic, I'm not sure if anyone will understand the concept but really it's fairly easy because everyone will work at it, when they get a confirmed bug they post in the topic, I'll confirm and then update the second post in the topic and delete their post, it keeps it tidy, the onus is on the users to make it work after all they are the ones who ask for it and I don't mind moderating it. We'll give it a go over the next few weeks and see if anyone responds and posts to it and if not it dies a death, if it appears to work it can be stickied.
