     If you compile with the DOUBLE_FLOOR option (I think that is the define),
    then it is displayed properly.
    ...
     A lot of this has to do with the redraw logic.  At current time, there
    is an array for each level (up to 3 of these arrays) which stores how
    we last draw/sent the image at that layer on that space.
    ...
    
     The current logic is we take the topmost floor, object with highest
    visiblity, and then the topmost object.  I believe at current time, all 
    objects with visiblity are non changing.

and a shop is neither the "topmost floor", nor "highest visibility," nor
"topmost object?"?

I can see the "player" counting as one of those, I supose.
The grass will be the "topmost floor".
But you should be able to squeeze in the shop as the "third" ?
