I have a Core I7 clocked at 3.8GHz. And escape isn't working to get out of the "about DF" page. And I've waited quite awhile.

EDIT: ...and it just started working after I closed everything else I had open. Very odd.

This is more of a guess than anything else but have you tried fiddling with your print mode? What you say you've experienced sounds like it could be the screen occasionally not updating correctly. If so, it could look like the game sometimes ignores your input.

I've been having to resist the temptation to actually write a printer print-mode.

If it wasn't for the lack of any portable printing interface, I don't know what I might have done. :P

Well, if you're in the mood to write a new print-mode that'll have an user base of maybe one, how about a linux framebuffer print-mode? ;)

Yeh, I know that can already be done with 2D if the env var SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon but that still requires an X server on another vt for message boxes.

Just to be clear, I'm not requesting such a thing. I'm happy with running the unicode-aware text print-mode, often inside of GNU screen so I can switch machines without reloading the game.
