When the mouse is enabled (as is the default) in the windows options "Mouse/Enable mouse" and "Mouse/Track mouse movement" the prompt which would normally say something like "You can learn 17 more spells. -more-" is suppressed. That message is still visible if I call up the prior messages via the control-P (rougelike commands), but this is awkward. If it matters, I am playing on Windows 8.
"Mouse/Track mouse movement" appears to be the offending option here.
I disabled the mouse and the game now prints the spell study prompt as it should. In general it's better to display the number of spells left to study at the bottom of the screen instead of just "Study." Maybe "Study(17)" or if there isn't enough space, "St(17)" or even "St-17". I prefer to see the number of spells left to study to the actual word "study." What that number means can be explained in the help screen.
