Omit from Output annoyances that I forgot to mention :)

Sorry, I forgot to mention, is there any chance of "fixing" the Omit from output option so that we dont see it, then see it get erased? =) It kinda bogs down the client a bit when its doing that, although I understand the way it was made and why its currently done this way. (Or atleast, I think I do:)

Just curious :)

Thanks!

The trigger matching is deferred until a newline arrives (ie. a "hard" return), which in the case of long lines (maybe a 20-line room desc) could be quite a while.

Also, some lines never have a newline (eg. a prompt like "Enter your name ...").

Thus, the client has to show you the line as it arrives. Then if a trigger matches (maybe a quarter of a second later) and the trigger is "omit from output" then it removes it from the output window.

This can unfortunately result in a slight flicker.
