Empty center frame.

I was pressed for time in real life so I ran two instances of mafia from the same directory and (obviously) two different characters. Whenever I got the option to open the relay browser to resolve something, I'd click on the link, everything except the center frame would load normally and the browser would report that it was waiting. I could open and continue in the mini-browser. Once I shut down the second instance the first instance would load as expected in when the relay browser was called for.

I recall something like this occurring before but I can't find or recall the resolution. Was it fixed, in which case I should verify I can reproduce it, or was it one of those "Don't Do That!" things?

I believe this is probably another instance of the "started a (usually) boss fight, my macro couldn't kill it, and the center pane is blank until the boss fight is over (goes for multiple fights, in the case of Ed or NS), but I can complete the fight in the mini-browser" bug. :) I can try to find the 3 threads about it, if you like and/or want to merge it in, or we can just keep letting them accumulate... apparently there's no more merging of these, since, well, someone officialish posted they were going to stop merging them. :)

Not merging is not a policy. Feel free to post the threads and maybe merging will happen. Provided that the bugs look identical. I just don't feel like hunting for them myself right now.

The monsters were not bosses but rather things WHAM gave up on - clingy pirates and procrastination giants come to mind in late game - but since something similar is out there I will neither merge nor clutter but just take those pills that are supposed to help my memory so I will be prepared when this comes up again. Thanks.
