From clean new game as well as from the attached save state.
Will try to bisect for cause.

Thr following are some details on the cause of this from peres: <snip> The Elder's screen should appear when you exit the location through the lower part of the screen, triggered by a Zone in the scripts *when the character stops walking*. What happens instead is that the normal location switch code executes *as soon as* the character's y coordinate is greater than the screen vertical size.
The problem was introduced after I merged the walk input loop with the main input loop, so it's basically a priority issue. I was meaning to fix this using a flag to disable portions of the main loop when the character is walking, but time has always lacked. <end snip>

Attached a workaround bodged fix which avoids this issue. This is not a usable solution, but it eludicates the cause.

Slightly Better Fix (Prevent checkDoor in Pathfinding when called by Script)
comment:10 by , 13 years ago
Attached patch for slightly better fix. This works by blocking checkDoor() (which is called when the last node in a walking path is reached) when the walking is triggered by a script, rather than by the user. This fixes the issue, but is not a good fix as scripts do expect locationChange via door in most cases by moving to the hitZone i.e. after you pick up all the leaves and talk to the Monk, Dough and the Monk stop in the doorway now... however, this is not fatal as clicking on the doorway allows you to continue.
