8. Bodies, treasure, and dropped items are removed after a level transition; bear this in mind when deciding what to leave behind and what to keep.
It doesn't clarify whether they mean levelling up or loading a new area-I only tried stuffing a chest once and everything was gone when I came back to it. I definitely went into a new area, but I may have also levelled up-tho I don't think so.
It was definitely NOT changed in the 1.2 or 1.4 patches, but I couldn't find anything about the 1.3 fixes so maybe it was there, if at all. If not I imagine that the Cheat used chests to hold things to keep movement speed up but emptied them when he went to a new level.
