Hey Jack, The patch will contain an option to turn off battle animations. The battle animations are consitent in showing the characters in their correct facings, but it can be confusing. The battle animation facing is not tied to the units' orientation to each other on the map, but it is tied to player number. A unit belonging to Player 1 will always appear on the left whether he is attacking or defending.

The patch will also contain a shortcut key to skip to the character dialogs. Pressing the ESC key skips passed all the chatter. ESC is also used to close/cancel any dialog box that appears.

Thanks for the bug reports. I'll be spending extra attention on windowing problems and see what else may need to fix before releasing this patch (coming very soon).
