0003582: Two weapons disappear from inventory mysteriously.
I had been holding in one hand a -<<giant jaguar leather bag>>- which contained my +bronze longsword+, and, in the other hand, my -bronze bow-. After selling some stuff grabbed from outlaws and picking up my coins, I noticed that one of the coin stacks had gone directly to my hand which shouldn't have happened because I had been holding the aforementioned items. My bow was completely gone, and what's stranger is that although I still held the leather bag in my left hand, my longsword had dissappeared from it. There was no mention in the text log of me dropping them, and after checking the pile of items I had just sold I found that my weapons weren't among them.

I'm not sure whether each weapon had kills or not.

Okay, I just noticed that some -bronze arrows- of mine are gone as well, which caused me to realize that all of the missing items are items that I bought from the weapon shop in this town before leaving to kill some outlaws (it's the same town where I sold the stuff in my report). Maybe upon returning to the site the items glitched for some reason?

After wandering around a bit and checking the weapon shop to see if the items had reset and reappeared there (they hadn't), I also found that now everyone says, "don't talk to me", as if I'd stolen something, which is not the case. So that might be related.

By the way, I've been erroneously labeled a thief twice now, both times in towns where I'd previously bought/sold items. I'll submit a bug report on that, too, but first I'm going to play a few adventurers to see if I can get more information about when it happens.

The error log listed seven consecutive"random buffer error"s, but I don't know how recent they are. Maybe related.

As I've just discovered, two shops in that town (trinkets and food) are now missing all of their inventory items, although the display tables and money chest (including coins) remain. They were not empty the first time I visited the town, so maybe I'm being blamed for the disappearance of these items somehow.

EDIT: I've reported the empty shops as it's own issue, but with a link to this report. Here's the the other one:

I stole some weapons, left and came back, and they disappeared as well...
I just tried to reproduce it, but this time the bronze cap, short sword, and crossbow have remained in my possession...

Here's the save, in case it helps. The same save is linked to in the other bug report linked above.

If this bug is still around, it's probably taken a pretty different form since the item persistence code changed substantially in 0.34.02. Please reopen this report or PM me on the forums if that's not the case.
