Summary0005205: Announcements are not kept on the announcement screen
DescriptionIn Dwarf fortress mode the announcement screen almost always says "no recent announcements". If I look at the screen as an announcement is being first shown it will show that announcement in the announcement screen, and seconds later if I check the screen again it will once again be blank. The announcements should be kept on the view announcements screen a bit more permanently.
Steps To ReproduceWait for an announcement to happen, hit a, view announcements are there, go back to playing for a few seconds with no new announcements being shown, hit a again, see that the announcements screen lost all of your announcements.

Do you have any announcements saved in your gamelog file?

Do you have a lot of combat/sparring/hunting going on? Back in 0.31.xx, it was common for such reports to do that.

All announcements are saved in the gamelog file like they are supposed to. No hunting, combat, or sparring going on at the time.

Probably a duplicate of 0002849 - "Low on announcements with no combat/sparring/hunting going on" and related to 0001430 - "Low on announcements during combat/sparring/hunting going on".
