Win 64 0.7.91 quest disappears from list then reappears [RESOLVED]

This behavior continues in the latest 2 revisions

quest N0B00Y08 (Looks like Nobody08 )

When taking this quest it appears in the list as normal. When I arrive in the quest location the quest disappears from the list. I cast sleep (actually a lesser version but it works), then the quest reappears and can be completed. The quest is replaced by 2 blank pages in the list.

I have had this happen with two quests now and I found a youtube video that shows this bug in action so it's not just me. The bug only presents when the PC travels to a location in the quest. I had a quest to find 4 fake gold bricks. Whenever I would travel to the location where the brick was the quest log no longer showed the information as to which building. I would have to travel to a nearby city read the log and travel back.

I will try to take a look at this one at the weekend. That does depend on having my internet connection fixed - been down for 2 days now. Using phone data for a bit of light browsing.

So this seems to be an exception in TalkManager when expanding a quest macro, assume it's a location macro. Not really sure why a building is being undiscovered, but my gut says this is to do with quests taking over a building for the duration. Not quite sure why that is being fired off from a macro, but if that macro is used in the journal message then it's going to kick off this code path when is shouldn't.

That's my guess anyway.. Interkarma & Nystul, what do you guys think?

Pretty sure my fix for viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2127 will also fix this. Please retest after the next builds, thanks.

This bug has also happened to me. I got my quest, checked my active quest log and then went outside checked my active quest log all normal. Upon arriving at the destination the active quest log was missing. I entered a tavern and the active quest log reappeared and stayed till completion.
