Gravity bug

Well, when you set the player speed to Ultrafast with CE actions, the player can "jump" as high he wants.
Strange bug, but then again, I still have the feeling it could be useful for some levels.
Dunno, some puzzle thing...

Can anybody confirm this?
I have tried this (using a CE to set the player speed to "ultrafast" after a delay of 0 frames), but wasn't able to reproduce it. Although the player was able to move up when digging sand, he wasn't able to move up again after reaching the top border and falling down.
Could you please make a little demo level and record a tape for me so that I can see what I have to do to trigger that bug?

No, no, this is a major bug and has to be fixed! ;-)

Hey, you're right!
I remember still having this bug, while (without saving) editing Ben Brightware's levels

Erm... Do you mean "you're right, this bug does not exist in fact", or do you mean "you're right, this bug should be fixed"?

Well, when editing older levels, strange things might happen... :-/
Please drop me a little note if you think that this bug still exists in 3.2.0-6 with freshly created levels, please.

I ment it as in "you're right, this bug does not exist in fact".
And I just tested it out, and the bug is'nt there in 3.2.0-6.
Seems like I did a "wrong" bug report...

That's no problem -- if the bug isn't there in the end, I don't have to fix it! ;-)

Veeery good to know. Especially all that gravity stuff is really a hard thing if there are bugs to fix... To much interaction with various parts of the game engine. (Always either breaks a lot of tapes or requires tons of compatibility code... :-( )
