Tiles randomly disappear when played in PowerShell

[moigagoo]

When two tiles are paired into one, a tile may disappear completely from the field.

Reproduced on PowerShell in every game.

Cmd works all right though.

Thank you for the report, unfortunately I don’t have any Windows-based PC so I can’t reproduce but I’m open to contributions :)

Can you help me to reproduce the bug?

[moigagoo]

To reproduce the issue, I'm just playing casually, and it pops out at some point (couldn't find any system in that so far though).

This is how it looks when a tile disappears: http://i.imgur.com/AOMJtc4.png

In this particular case, this happened when I pressed left, a 16 was on the marked position and just disappeared.

Could you try to select the tile with the mouse to check if there’s text here? From your screenshot, a white dot is not shown so the tile is not empty, this could be a color issue (the tile is maybe of the same color of your background).

Tried it, didn't help. The tile is not there: http://i.imgur.com/KQQYbFH.png

In the situation on the picture, if I press LEFT, nothing changes. Here's what happens on DOWN: http://i.imgur.com/xNJzMbT.png

As you can see, the numbers behave as if the missing tile is a “wall.”

Powershell doesn't display magenta on a default background.
default shortcut on Windows remaps ANSI colors 35,36
Workaround - change background color to black.

Thanks a lot @pawulon!

Workaround - change background color to black.

Alternatively, we could change the colors not to use magenta.

Yes. I did a test with:

1. Fore.LIGHTMAGENTA_EX instead of Fore.MAGENTA
2. Fore.MAGENTA + Style.BRIGHT instead of Fore.MAGENTA

and it worked good in three command line tools on Windows (cmd.exe, powershell, cmder).

Also, powershell displays yellow color as white. It is not a big problem since the tile is not disappearing but we may also apply potential fix to it.
