WinARun: Inconsistent Style for Room Names in Brief Mode #46

Closed tajmone closed 2 years ago

tajmone commented 2 years ago

@thoni56, I'm not sure whether this is a bug or it's intended to be so by design, but I'm reporting it anyway.

While testing the AGAIN run-time message I noticed that when a brief room description is shown (using Visits 1) in WinARun, the room name is not styled as usual (i.e. "title style") but as normal text.

Is that normal? Shouldn't the room name always use the title style, even when in non-verbose modality (i.e. only the room description needs being omitted).

As it happens, I was testing AGAIN in an adventure which prints some fairly long text when entering and exiting a location, so it was hard for me to spot the room name (with the added AGAIN message) because I was expecting the usual bold style for room names.

IMO, a room name should have consistent styling, regardless of whether it's in brief or verbose mode.

Interesting. Definitely not by design. I agree with you that the Location title should be styled in the same way.

I'll have to look into why this is not so.

Fixed in Build2275.

Works perfectly now!

The location name is shown in bolder style, and the AGAIN text in normal style (same line, following the name).
