Embarkation Screen Bug by JT

Movie Description:

The exact sequence of events is as follows:

1) Type [n] to add a new item.
2) Type in random characters into the screen to narrow the search.
3) Backspace those characters. You'll notice the screen hasn't fully restored the list.
4) Hit spacebar to get the list back.

Important: If the movie appears blank or fails to play it is because it was recorded using a corrupt version of Dwarf Fortress. This is a known bug and is reported in the tracker, bug 2489. The DFMA administration is in the process of cleaning up these movies from the site; and hopes bay12games will fix the game functionality soon.

The spacebar only brings back those items that have spaces in their name, of course, so things like "granite" won't show up.

Basically, the bug is that when you delete the search you've typed in, the last character you typed remains. So when I typed "FA", then backspaced it, the "F" remained inside the search memory even though it was deleted, and only those things with "F" in the name appeared. When I hit space, it replaced the "F" in the memory and anything with spaces in the name appeared.

Problems?

Do you only see a blank space instead of a play button?
