Summary0006243: Dropping down single tile wide ladder openings difficult
DescriptionThis has been a bit of a problem since the recent no-sliding change to ducking. Previously when coming to a one tile wide opening with a ladder in it, you could hold down as you moved towards it and be assured of dropping into it. Even before duck sliding existed, this worked fine. Since pressing down now instantly cancels all velocity, you can end up doing a dance back and forth across the top of the ladder until you find the 'sweet spot' where the game will allow you to drop.

* The mechanics of ducking have been changed a bit in order to make going down ladders easier.
** Prior to the addition of ducking, you could hold the down key while you ran, and then easily get down any ladder. Since the addition of ducking, which stops you from moving unless you have the powerslide enchant on, this has made getting down small ladders an exercise in frustration.
** To solve this, ducking now only kicks in while you are holding the down key and NOT holding the left or right keys.
*** So you can once again hold down while running left and right, making it trivial to get down any ladder, and ducking won't even come into play.
*** But at the same time, when you want to duck or powerslide, just jam the down key and stop moving in whichever direction.
