Zugg Software :: View topic - %btnenable does not work with some internal icons

I am currently converting scripts from my old zMud, and one of the things I use to use was a compass rose that would disable the invalid directions from my current location. However, %btnenable does not seem to redisplay the icon after the button has been disable then re-enabled again. Note, the button still works after being re-enabled, there is just no image. The following snippets demonstrates what I am talking about.

First create a button with an image:
#button icon {icon} {#show icon}
#call %btnimage(icon, ARROWL)

Then disable and enable it:
#call %btnenable(icon, 0)
#call %btnenable(icon, 1)

The image disappears

Further investigation showed me that it does work for some of the internal icons and it does work for any bmp icon I tried to load (and so I assume it works for most of them too). The following internal icons did not get re-enabled:

ARROW1R
ARROW2L
ARROW2R
ARROWD

My solution has been to switch to the red arrows for the compass rather than the blue arrows that don't re-enable.

I forgot to note that this is in 3.03a and 2.37.

Hmm, that's very odd. Not sure why it works for some images and not others. But I'll add this to the bug list.
