If you push a turning-direction button that moves a mirror with Beethro's weapon at about the same time as pushing the undo button, the mirror vanishes from sight. Right-clicking the tile the mirror is on shows that there's still a mirror there, and this has no effect on gameplay whatsoever, but I thought I should report it anyway.

This was brilliant. To reproduce:

1. Set your repeat speed to a low value (I didn't check with the lowest but it should also work)
2. Place a mirror next to beethro
3. Rotate to push the mirror
4. Then undo and push again as quickly as possible - ideally there should be no frames drawn in between the two keypresses.

It was caused by the first draw after the undo and move to fall squarely on the tile from which the mirror was pushed, causing its destination tile to not be marked as dirty, causing it to no longer be animated on the next frame.

Can confirm I could not see the bug in 5.1.1.alpha.2020-10-16. I tried to replicate it in the latest stable version, and it looked like the mirror was disappearing for a single frame there, but in the latest alpha there do not appear to be any frames of vanishing mirror.
