[3.5.0] bug: Crash on detect monsters on new level

[ron_post]

Several times now, I've gone to a new level, cast detect doors and traps, then cast detect monster. The game consistently crashes on detect monster (I've set it to save when changing levels, and reloading will recreate the crash). This also happens if I cast detect monster (or reveal monsters) immediately on level change.

However, if I play around on the level a bit before casting detect monsters, it's fine. And it doesn't appear to be all levels, although I haven't tested this as much.

I've attached my current save game, which should crash if you load it and cast detect monsters.

Edit: It seems to be related to uniques being detected - perhaps before being seen normally?

Is Mim around, perchance?

This is a known bug - it's when a monster name has an accented letter which hits the edge of the monster list window. Resizing the monster list window is a fix for any current detection, but of course it can easily happen again.

There are vague moves afoot to have a bugfix for 3.5.0 - we'll see how that goes.

Just noticed that in my chardump turncount is odd, it shows same turncount for every event in player history. I have vague memory that this is also known bug. If there is a bugfix, does that include that fix as well?
