actually it doesn't stop it just doesn't display text. if you wait long enough you will see the lucasarts logo animation (with a spider?)

I wonder if this got better since aquadran rewrote the description code?

I played through The Dig a few days ago. It displayed some (not all?) scrolling text messages, though never more than one at a time.

This issue might be fixed due to various recent changes aquadran and me made... hence my question... Juriaan, would you please comment as to whether you can still reproduce the problem?
And if you can, attach a screenshot / a savegame, please.

Here's a savegame near the end. The reason the credits doesn't work seems to be that our implementation of o6_kernelSetFunctions(), case 16, only handles one string at a time. The end credits needs lots of them.
Or maybe it doesn't. I can get it to almost work (the text vanishes when it reaches the top instead of scrolling off) if I assume that I don't have to remember where the old string was and that it's enough to just clear the screen where the new string will appear. I'll attach my patch to demonstrate, but I don't know if this breaks anything else.
Another thing that doesn't work is that the game never ends since we don't implement shutDown(). What does this function have to do, other than _system->quit() anyway?

it would be nice if the text could obey what I assume is a mask in the ft credits.
The text is supposed to come up behind the hill etc. Use shift W to get to the ft credits

This is due to our inability to display multiple textlines without keepText timing issues.
Needs to be addressed by a rewrite of description() and the main String code.
