 Q: Hi, i have encountered a problem on Android. I don't know if this problem was seen before (or if it's a intended feature), but since version 1.4.1/1.4.2 (i don't remember exactly) there's a green line when the battle round ends. I think it's a bug because i haven't seen it on older vcmi versions.

 Q: I'm reading the code for a few days and I've observed that a lot of files and classes had a prefix like 'C', 'E', 'I', 'CG'. A few examples: "CMusichandler.cpp", "ECreatureAnimType", "IMainVideoPlayer". For what they stand for?
