Places currently presents itself like such:


Queen's Inn and Tavern
[Cozy]
A keyhole shaped doorway with a solid oak door bars the most notorious
tavern in Lithmore from the rest of the world. Wooden tables, carefully
cared for and of fine craftsmanship, neatly arrange themselves throughout
the main floor space where travelers and locals, both rich and poor alike,
mingle for the sake of being close to history and fame. A long wooden bar,
polished with years of spills and elbow-grease, separates the custom from
painted wooden racks of various liquors and a doorway leading into the
kitchens. The scents of staple Lithmorran fare waft from there at all
hours.

In the last month:
(The freezing weather outside has driven those wandering the streets in the late hours of the night into the the warmth and comfort of the Tavern.)

[ Exits: east south west ] [ Air exits: none ]
A sturdily made four-legged table crafted of pale wood is in an out of the way corner. (eastern edge)
A long wooden bar separates customers from the liquors and kitchens. (western edge)
The un-official Queen's notice board covers the entire south wall. (western edge)
Y is here. [App: 4]
X is here. [App: 2]
Z is here. [App: 1]
A is here. [App: 4]
B is here. [App: 1]
A table nearest the door is here. ((<-- the place!))
A and B are there.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The italicized and bolded bits are of concern. Basically you have a repeat of people in a room. Characters A and B are listed twice. A better way to approach this would be to delete their first appearance and instead just have:

A table nearest the door is here.
A (lays her head down on the table) and B (lounges on a seat).

The parenthesis would be their actions, which the current system accounts for by displaying their sdescs twice. I'm not sure if that made sense; hopefully.

I agree, seems like a bug. Suggested changes added to the bug board.
