I just want to chime in... I haven't been able to reliably reproduce the issue, but even just moving around the map seems to randomly trigger a "press any key" state on some screens, and I also suspect the auto redescribe has something to do with it.

Pay attention to the changes to the way that objects and exits are listed. If this behaviour does not suit your game, you can use a custom theme to re-assert your preferences (code snippet given in the post above).
