Turns out that this animation bug does *not* happen on ScummVM 2.1.0, the version bundled with the Steam release.

FYI. Can not replicate on latest master i.e. ScummVM 2.7.0git1581-g8aeaabc6d17-dirty latest using my UK English CD version i.e. puttcircus-win-gb

So likely needs the US / Steam version to replicate.

Turns out that Steam also includes the UK version of the game. I tested with that version and indeed the issue does not happen in it.

So to confirm: this bug is unique to the English-US version (or at least the Steam release).

Hey, I have tested the original US CD version, and the UK and US versions from Steam, and I don't see the bug. Has this been fixed by some other side effect? Can anyone confirm?

Hm... having double-checked with a 2.8.0git build *before* the sound engine rewrite, it seems that this bug has been fixed as a side effect of the audio changes. Still waiting for confirmation on Thunderforge end though.

Confirmed that the bug no longer occurs on the 2023-08-23 daily build. Thanks!
