BUG: Using non-existent item by number causes crash

[Max Stats]

My current character, a warrior, has a macro to use a staff of identify by number. My staff got toasted, and I didn't notice. Next time I used the macro, it crashed the game. After further testing, I found that it didn't matter if I used a macro or not, nor was it limited to staffs. Choosing any command that requires an item selection and then pressing a number key when you don't have an applicable item in your inventory corresponding to that number will cause a crash. The issue tracker says to post your issue here before opening a ticket, so I need to see if anyone else can reproduce this error before I open a ticket.

Specs:
Version is 3.2.
Platform is Linux, compiled from source.
Keyset used is irrelevant, the bug appears either way.
Not sure if it is related to this bug.

Using 3.2.0, compiled myself in linux, and the comp 99 savefile I do not get a crash with 'r' '1'.

I get the same problem in Windows, and I've been able to reproduce it on three different computers (WinXP and Windows 7). It only works if you autoinscribe your items.

Steps:
1. Use the squelch menu to autoinscribe a hotkey onto an item -- say, inscribe @r1 on all ID scrolls.
2. Use up all your ID scrolls.
3. 'r' '1'
4. Stare at desktop and feel sad.

Thanks, I think that is good confirmation. Opened ticket.

I've had no success reproducing this behavior in 3.2.0 or the nightlies. Could you attach a savefile and any associated preferences files?

[Max Stats]

Unfortunately this character has been lost and a new character does not give the same behavior. There must be something that has to happen along the way that triggers this. If I encounter it again, I will send a savefile.

I just tested the nightly under WINE and it seems OK. I believe this issue has been fixed. If you try the most recent nightly do you see the problem?

I have reproduced the bug with my new character, still under 3.2. When I load this character and type 'Z9' to use my Staff of Identify, it crashes. I use the roguelike keyset, but it happens with 'u9' under the standard keyset as well. It works OK if I use the letter instead of the number. Attaching save file and pref file (program compiled from source under Linux). I will try to download the nightly and see if the bug reproduces under it.

Please let me know if you still see this in the nightly, or if it's fixed. I can't reproduce it in the nightly anymore.

Thanks!

As far as I can tell, the bug is gone under the nightly.

Awesome! Thanks again for testing it.
