Monster Double Turn after Game lag

[ScorpionZ]

In the course of a normal fighting sequence, regardless of who starts the fight, it goes something like this:

My turn - three attacks
Monster turn - 1, 2, 3, or 4 (I think the toothy monster gets 4 attacks. Can't remember, haven't been in that hole much)
There is a 0.5 to 1.0 second pause then my turn starts again. I believe the game is running calculations, but I am not sure. Regardless, there is always a pause after the monster's turn.

Every now and then, I am too quick to hit the inventory icon and I catch my self having been hit twice (for gargoyle trainers) but unable to apply a healing item because it is not my turn yet. When I back out, without fail, the monster gets another turn.

Effectively, if I am accidentally too fast in trying to heal myself, I get punished by getting my turn skipped. Most of the time that this occurs, it results in my death.

Likewise, I have had senarios where I have moved to a tile and a monster moves to an adjacent tile and attacks me. Immediately, I see a red number pop up or a red splash indicating that I have been hit. No text is displayed. Then the monster takes its actual turn showing red splashes and texts for each hit or miss. Effectively, there is a bug that allows monsters to get an additional hit when they initiate an attack while you are moving.

These bugs don't occur all the time. I don't always remember the one's where the monster gets an extra initial hit, but its hard to forget when you get skipped a turn and lose 10,000 xp because of it.

Thanks!

Bugs should be created as an issue over at google code, so history may be presented.

Yes bugs do need to go to the issue tracker, I will put a copy over there.

Does anyone else seem to get this bug? I will try to reproduce it to get confirmation.

Yeah, same for me, i hit option no animation for
Monsters because of that


For me it seems to happen all the time when you are
switching to the inventory too fast.

It seems to happen with me often but im not sure. Keeping track of the fight text is a pain in the butt for me. This is one of the reasons I have 80max hp though.

I will see if we can move this bugs priority up.

You can also reproduce that by pressing the monster button under the attack button before the monster's second attack. For some reason, the monster will get two more attacks
