Update
- After activating the teleporter trap in the treasure chest, if the party enters the battle and escapes without moving from the coodinate, the party will stay in place.

The behavior originally envisioned was,
　after activating the teleporter trap in the treasure chest, if the party enters the battle and escapes without moving from the coodinate, the party would return to the coodinate to where it was activated teleporter. (this was also used in past works of developer, etc.)
　However, due to a combination of related problems that occurred separately, the default behavior from now on will be to "stay in place" as in the 2006 version.
　We are considering making this behavior selectable in the editor later.

Fixes
- Unintended behavior occurred when sorting by item box.
- When entering a name, a one-byte space was counted as two one-byte characters.
- Unintended line breaks were occurring in battle messages.
- Teleportation sound effects sometimes did not sound as intended during combat

Due to a glitch in the 2006 scenario editor, this fix will not effective on some scenarios.
