    The terminal requires you to press escape twice in sequence to send a single escape press to the running program. So nothing to do with angband; either put up with it or change configuration.
    I am perfectly willing to believe that Ubuntu's Terminal is interfering with the ESC key. There's evidence that it's not a universal behavior, though -- vi and less running in the same Terminal window respond in a timely way to a single press of ESC. Isn't this proof positive that there's something that apps can do to get sensical behavior w.r.t. the ESC key?

    (Probably something involving termios raw mode, now that I think of it. Yuck.)

      Linux, virtual console.. the fun;p

      After some tweaking in virtual console I've finally managed to get V3.0.6 to have correct colors (same as MS-DOS) and the blockchars (not the '#') which is in MS-DOS too. Think I read somewhere on this forum it wasn't possible to do in linux virtual console.It is. MuhahahAHAHAHAHA

      But, it's a pain in the arse to get angband up'n'working for console using ncurses. Especially when you're a newbie like me. I remember Takkaria told me he used debian 4.0. Well, I installed the distro, but it was EXACTLY the same problem as with the virtual console in ubuntu. The colours are WRONG. So I'm still puzzled out because a few people tell me they run V angband in virtual console with non, zzzzzero problems with the colours. I have to use a little "hack" released with the newest version of gumband, which involes the use of TERM=linux-c-nc..

      And for using the blockchars which we're familiar from the days of MS-DOS, they involve some steps I don't understand at all. With a bit of luck I managed to get it work. It has to do with "CODEPAGE 437", which is the extended ascii-set MS-DOS uses, which, *drumroll* has the oh so lovely blocks (you know, the WALLS).

      Maybe I'm doing something wrong with the compiling, maybe I'm overlooking something. I don't know, is it only me who've had problems setting up V angband in virtual console (using NCurses) ?

      Oh, Virtual console, virtual console, virtual console. I feel it hasn't been said enough;p virtual console = ctrl+alt+f1-f12. Textmode.

          Odd. I didn't get that when I found the phial, though that's possibly because I've not been playing 3.0.8... Thanks.

            I heard that if you refuel it with oil, it explodes like a Staff of *Destruction*.

              playing with randarts, not sure if that makes a difference.

                Found the pattern, it happens every time I activate it.

                  Could you please email me a savefile which shows this problem to the bugs address (shown on the splashscreen)? Thanks.

                  EDIT: Don't. We have it, the fix will be in 3.0.9.
