Semi-OT: Strange behaviour of the letter "L" - Page 4

Could be a localized bug, yes... Pretty sure I didn't want to type "Blaster". And I ALWAYS use the RIGHT shift key for capitalizations (I'm right-handed).

(Narrator's Note: He's resuming his doubts about a minor bug...)

Non-L thing: Lately I've been seeing large grey patches over text, apparently without reason.

Attached is a screenshot of it.

I saw that one once, in the FAQ. It always appeared on the same spot (somewhere in chapter 17), and reloading did not remove the thing. I wouldn't know from where it comes however, or how to get rid of it.

Firebird? Isn't that a tad out of date? Could just be a bug that was resolved in a later version of the program.

I believe that is a bug with banner advertisements at the top of the page, it looks like it's the same size and shape and I've had that problem a few times on some sites.

The Logical Explanation is to Blame Marketing, ALWAYS!

I know Firefox is better, but this is not my own PC. My own PC has no internet, so I'm reliant on an account on this computer for Internet (i.e. forum, 92% of the time, Schlock Mercenary 7% of the time, rest 1% of the time) access. And I don't know if Alneyan uses Firebird, Forefox, IE, Netscape, a hypernet node, or whatever. But if he sees them too...

Hmm, let me see... I *saw* the grey boxes, but they have now disappeared. It has been at least a few months since I last saw them, however. I was on Firebird or an early Firefox release back then; I am now using Firefox, and the grey boxes are no longer here.

A Spell of Greater Purging has been cast since then as well, so perhaps it solved the matter (that spell is better known as "HD crash, roll Fortitude or lose all your data. DC is 30"). Still, I would believe Firebird is responsible for those grey boxes, and nothing else.

Looks like a piece of Scotch tape on your monitor to me.
