Summary Regresssion 09485: vblokbrk and clones: Eventually freezes after clearing a stage in the final 10 seconds
Description When you clear a stage in the final 10 seconds (there's an onscreen countdown), the game triggers a few strange behaviours:
- the background image gets squashed horizontally;
- the score and the bonus screen award are set to zero;
- any following stage has no visible blocks and no possibility to move sideways; some opponents are visible, some have a squashed image;
- most importantly, the game logic fails; some stages will auto-clear without any action required, but eventually the game freezes randomly - after an auto-clear / after you lose all lives / during the black transition screen after the bonus.
Steps To Reproduce Start a new game and play in order to clear the last block during the final 10 seconds, when the countdown is shown.
Additional Information I recorded 3 inps, showing a few possible outcomes that happens when the bug is triggered.

also you set regression version to 0.211, are you saying this definitely doesn't happen before that version?

Yes to both.
It happens on the parent and every clone. I didn't post evidence for sarukani because I thought 3 inps for the same bug was excessive. In any case I just did one, and it behaved differently from the others (it just gave a black screen and froze there). I'll post it and update the report accordingly.
As for the regression, it definitely happens on 0.211, but I wasn't able to trigger it on 0.210. I can record an inp or two for those versions if needed.
