Truncated nouns and other oddities in Parchment

I haven’t used Parchment before a couple minutes ago when I decided to click the “play online” button on the IFDB page for Uninvited. Once loaded I noticed that there was no visible cursor, but more importantly, the names of nouns was truncated to six characters. There is also a sequence that looks like this:

>open door
The frontundefined creaks open.

What’s going on? This doesn’t happen in Frotz and I haven’t received any complaints about the game itself having problems.

I see the errors, but don’t have any idea what is causing them. Can you reduce your sourcecode to a minimal example with the bug which you can then share with us?

I forgot about this post when I posted to the Google Group for Parchment. I’ll take this discussion there.
