[confirmed] confusing ladder orientation
I don't know that this is a bug exactly, but since it has taken me approximately 80-million times to remember to not do the following, what the heck...
Repro Steps
-----------
Climb up the ladder out of Ix.
Expected Behavior
-----------------
The scenery should appear with the top of a ladder, or other visual cue as if to say "You've just climbed up a ladder!"
Actual Behavior
---------------
You are standing next to a signpost. Your brain thinks "new scene + standing next to signpost = run away from signpost!" so you run to the other side of the screen only to realize 'oh right, that signpost was where I'm *going*, not coming from'
I realize you wouldn't want to have people trying to climb *down* the up-ladder, that never ends well, but the disappearing ladder-top hurts my brain!

- Agreed, it feels very weird to me too!
- I thought about saying something a long time ago, but i like the shortcut.
- I'll take a look at this and see what we can figure out for good ways to make the transition feel more intuitive.
