Description (last modified by )
ScummVM Version: Tested ScummVM 2026.2.1git25327-g717e3a4185b, as well as release versions 2026.1.0 and 2026.2.0
Game Language: English
Game Version: DOS
Host OS: Windows 11 25H2 (26200.8246)
Steps To Reproduce:
- Start the game, and skip through the intro until you're standing in your office
- Select the "MOVE" option from the toolbar
- Click on the upper of the two chairs on the right of the desk (don't click the ComLink
What Should Happen: You should get a pop-up window titled CHAIR that says THAT WON'T MOVE; dismissing this box should return you to regular interactive play. I verified this behaviour using the exact same game files in Dosbox.
What Actually Happens: You first get a pop-up window titled CHAIR that says THAT WON'T MOVE, but then you get a second pop-up window titled CHAIR that reads GREY GOVERNMENT ISSUE FILING CABINET. DENTED AND SCRATCHED WITH MANY YEARS OF USE. - this is the description when you use the LOOK option on the filing cabinet, and should not be displayed for the chair (especially not in a window titled CHAIR).
I've attached a screenshot showing the erroneous CHAIR dialogue.
