CHEWY: Dialog canceled by subtitles

[afreickmann]

When you have the text activated, all dialogs are getting skipped, IF you are not skipping the line earlier. Thus the game is near unplayable.
As a side effect, you will be stuck in a detail page (like in a 1:1 Dialog with Howard) in this case - which is a clear blocker.

The pure dialog version meanwhile is never finishing dialogs.

I guess, I know where it comes from. ;) The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Tested also with speech only, same behavior as the version text and speech.

Was able to find build 1ffdbee4 from 13th noon, this one should not yet have fixes like 8df2859 (4pm CEST/2pm UTC). The build 60fdff42 from 17th has the same issues as i reported. So it should be unrelated to d81d6e5.

I noticed that the dialog menu breaks all the time due to the bug, not just within the close ups.

Seems to be back, also in the master, not just the stable

Not sure why this has been reopened. I can't reproduce this. Please provide a saved game, or a way to reproduce.
Setting to pending

OK, might be another bug, as now the dialogue is getting cut off in general after talking, if the line does not get skipped. I noticed it first in Big City, thus i attach the savegane 16 here. Talking with the paper boy still ends directly after line 1.

Added another example: Savegame 43 is when getting the rejected script back, as the dialogue gets cancelled, the player will miss most likely all the information given during this dialogue.

Would be nice to get fixed before 2.8.0 release
