I just discovered that if you have a staircase next to a doorway, and a monster is on top of the staircase (which you have previously seen) and you back away into the corridor with the monster following you, then the staircase disappears until you come up to it again. (The room was lit in this case.) Dave Sherman Magnifibeast

I was in a lit room, with a sleeping C. Another C came in, and I polymorphed it into a W. I killed the W, and it dropped a ! "on top" of the C, so the ! was visible (bug #1). I approached the !, and when I got next to it it became a C again. I backed up, threw an arrow, and it approached, and I killed it... and no ! was visible. When I approached the "." of floor where the potion was expected to be, it reappeared. Heck, if that's the worst bug I find in 5.2, I won't complain. It's the games that die while saving (usually with terrific armour and on deep levels) that bother me more. Dave Sherman Magnifibeast
