Day 1 when you have pulled someone over if you go to talk to them by walking on the left side of the car you will get hit by a car and die. As it is transitioning to a disappointed Jim Walls it will show the previous view with a bad palette.

This is not a bug.

Sierra changed the palette as well before running the transition, which made the old screen look wrong. They were limited to 256 colors, so there is no way to do it differently unless we go 15/16-bit-color and then it would actually be an enhancement and wouldn't be like the game looked when using the original interpreter. I think wjp actually even did something like this already.

This happens with all transitions. There are some games, that do a transition to a black screen and then transition again from the black screen, which avoids this.
