    Window Visibility and Graphics selection

    Not sure when this changes, but I remember that when the game crashed for some reason, you could open an old savefile and the game would start with the graphics and window visibility you previously selected.

    Now, when the game crashes and you reopen an old savefile, the subwindow settings are remembered (i.e., what the subwindows are selected to contain), but the visibility is not (e.g., I use a Term 6 window, but its visibility crashes along with the game) and the tile selection defaults to Shockbolts tiles after a crash. (I like those tiles, but they are too detailed for my laptop screen size, so the David Gervais tiles work better).

    Not so much of a problem, since it's relatively rare, although 3.5 seems to be crashing a bit more in the last few nightlies.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

      http://buildbot.rephial.org/builds/master/builds.html - Windows, whichever is the most recent build. I keep moving my savefile and user files to the new revisions.

      Just checked the angband bug reporter page and see that Fizzix reported what I believe is a related bug, i.e., #1698 Windows does not remember tile size on restart.

      Not only does it revert tile size, it reverts tile set and window visibility on restart.
