Details:
There are some units which are meant to not have any visual ellipse.
Previously this could be accomplished by putting ellipse="misc/blank" or
similar. However, there is now always something appended, so an "image not
found" image appears, or a standard ellipse is forced in case ellipse= is left
away.
Examples of such units are the Fog Clearer - UtbS would be heavily visually
broken by now if it still used it - and custom units. There are several in my
campaign; automatic ellipsing makes some of them visible while they aren't
meant to be at all, and others aren't meant to have an ellipse, as they aren't
a "unit" for the player, only for the engine.
I expect other not-quite-standard addons to suffer from this as well.
So, what about an additional special key, such as ellipse=none which draws no
ellipse, or uses misc/blank or similar, to work around this. Or even an
additional key auto_ellipse=yes/no (def yes) to deactivate the new behavior;
ellipse=none would suffice for me atm but I'm not sure about other addons who
may want the engine to not auto-modify their ellipses.
