While enemy missiles are flying, the text bar flickers between 2 strings, one of which seems correct and the other of which is either slightly different in AP value or references a totally different monster. It's really weird and persists even after some common-sense fixes I tried.

This bug is insane. Extensively debugging hasn't shown me any reason why it should be happening, and I've tried a million things to make it go away.

Could it be caused by call to display() somewhere? I believe calling display() simply swaps the front and back buffers, so if there's a loop calling display() without rerendering the text, it seems like it would make sense for it to flicker between the correct value and a slightly older value.

The front/back buffer thing is the only explanation that makes any sense, but display is only called on text_bar_gworld in one place which looks correct.
