quicksand into acid bug

dont know if this has been reported before but the stone doesnt go out of the quicksand into acid:

the rocks get stuck when they should fall through the quicksand, into the acid. both slow and fast quicksand is affected.

I don't think the quicksand lets anything pass if it's blocked underneath, even acid.

I don't think that's a bug.

Neither do I (didn't I imply that?)

Well, I think that dave is right: As the original Emerald Mine engine lets the boulders disappear in the acid (although invisibly), this is the way it should be -- also in the R'n'D game engine. (Try for yourself in R'n'D by using the Emerald Mine engine in the level editor with the test level from the level sketch above.)

So if this doesn't break any existing levels (which I don't really expect), I think this should indeed be treated as a bug, and should be fixed.

I guess I stand corrected.

I also was wrong.
