I think this is so they can get out?

That's a normal mechanic for homes, not a bug.

Ahh. No. Home doors, if left open will automatically shut after a period of time. When do they it usually looks like this.. The door suddenly slams shut! Or something like that, and the doors will lock at the same time. That part is what I meant by a normal home mechanic.

If your open door is never closing, there may be a reason behind it but I do not know enough about homes to say and would defer to our homes guy for the better answer.

Weirdly, the interior was lacking the auto-close mechanics in a key place. It should function the same now -- 60 seconds after anyone leaves the home, the door will auto close, whether someone is still inside or not (you can't be locked IN).

>Could you please make an LTB doorstop that will stop it from closing unless a PC closes it?

Very unlikely. There are security issues with having homes stay opened all the time. Rather than leaving the risk for problems, it's safer to have them auto close.

It shouldn't be possible, but the home system has made me a liar repeatedly. There's a check to make sure the home isn't already closed before doing any messaging. If you can reproduce it with a closed door, paste the snippet here, please? May help me narrow in on what's causing it.

Finally replicated it! This is home owned by a character on a different account.

You walk through the door of a fieldstone cottage.

Walls of grey fieldstone and a polished riverstone floor covered by an intricately patterned dark grey rug rimmed with stylized clouds enclose this small room. In one corner lies a blue suede camel-back sofa, and near the sofa sits a lacquered dragonclaw-foot table on which rests a stack of magic handbooks. A stone fireplace sits beneath a large rosewood-framed mirror with fine scrollwork. The room holds a mild scent of incense. You also see a large oak-framed window, a door and a sapphire-blue plush velvet armchair that is facing the table.
Obvious exits: none.

Hmmm ... I just noticed in both cases I opened the window after the door closed. Maybe that has something to do with it. Immediately after the last post I did this to check:

So it seems to happen after entering and locking the door, opening the window and observing the sky. If I don't observe it won't happen until I do. Further testing (with a cleric) revealed that it didn't need to be a Moon Mage to cause the effect. Closing and re-opening the window without exiting did not replicate the bug.
