I hate it when I'm fighting monsters in a doorway, then try to close the door and run only to be told that there's "no doors I can close" because some monster dropped ammo in the doorway, so I have to stand and fight . Would it be okay to allow shutting doors on top of items? I mean, as far as I know someone leaving 5 bullet in a doorway doesn't normally make the door nonoperational. >_>

But what about a rocket launcher, a chainsaw or a thermonuclear warhead? :p

I think this is fixed on new version, and this text it's because the door is destroyed.

Can't we introduce a rule that items will not be dropped on doors? Currently engine looks for a free space, so e.g. when multiple items had to be dropped in a narrow corridor nothing gets lost, but it's going to be more widely spread. Let's mark open doors as invalid space (just as closed doors).

It would take about a quarter or a second to nudge it out of the way with your foot. :-P
Anyway, Rola's solution sounds perfectly reasonable if it hasn't been implemented yet. Most of the problem comes from the "look for free space" behavior anyway, as I tend to make stands in doorways in all roguelikes, and with a large number of monsters being killed in the same area the ammo or whatever has a tendancy to land in the doorway even if the monster was killed 6 spaces away.
