The only significant difference between the two is gameplay related.ãã > That could be caused by an attribute issue (black on black?) or an abortã > char (Ctrl-C) left in the input/key buffer.

"break" the menus.. my main bbs menu is still a baja script, and itãdoesnt show a prompt either.ãã >ã > I haven't been running chess.js and don't see anything obvious in theã > recent commits.
