Lithofex gaze animation plays even when they are not on the current screen

Similar to recently reported issue #6494: “Geomagnetic discs play their animation even if they were thrown somewhere other than the current screen”

The lithofex gaze animation (the blue wave-like animation when the gaze fires, not the red targeting effect) still plays when the lithofex is on a separate screen from the player.

Can easily be reproduced by climbing stairs after the gaze is targeted, but before it fires. The animation can even be seen if you use a recoiler after taking the stairs.

Upon closer inspection, what I described as a “blue wave-like animation” is in fact a fast-moving blue asterisk character.

Also, after reporting this issue, I recoiled out (to Yd Freehold) from a zone with many lithofex and other creatures fighting each other. I was spammed with their gaze animations while doing various things around town for what seemed like hundreds of turns. Presumably, the battle continued to play out because the previous zone had not been frozen.
