0006698: Cannot "unassume" control of creature after death in Arena
Ctrl-a does not exit to the normal testing Arena menu after dying as a creature. The only way to leave is to exit the game.
1: Assume control of creature in Object Testing Arena
2: Die
I tested this out four times on various creatures. It appears to be reproducible every time.
No tags attached.

I've tried this, and it's not true- you can leave a creature after death with no issue. Are you sure you hit enter to scroll through all the attack logs on the screen before trying to exit?

I think it may have been the combat log. It no longer happens on a new installation, and I can't think of any other reason for it.
