SCI: QfG3 - Bazaar bargain and/or purchase messages not clickable (race condition?)

Description (last modified by )
When you bargain or purchase goods in the bazaar, you can't click through the messages, which makes shopping very slow. Those messages just pass on their own eventually. Please make them clickable like all regular dialog messages.
This includes bargaining, payment confirmations and any dialog in between.
Sometimes it does let you click, which makes me think if it waits for the background music to end for some reason.
I've tried it in the latest Windows 64 build, v2.2.0git4593-gf531eba971 (Apr 20 2020 05:59:17)

The barter event loop retrieved input events twice per iteration, so it was luck as to which one retrieved the click. If it was the second then the click would be processed. If it was the first then the click would be discarded and replaced with a null event by the second. We've seen this same bug in other SCI games and patched them.
Thanks for reporting this!
