Description
Game version: AGI/DOS/English/1.0X & 1.1A Scummvm version: 1.2.0svn52375 Platform: Windows7 32bit
CTRL-C clears the command line, but does not moves the caret back to the start of the line. The text entered after a CTRL-C is ignored. ESC does not pause the game. In the actual game it displays the message: "Game paused. Press ENTER to continue."

This bug is nice to get fixed before the release. Raising priority for keeping the track.

The Ctrl-C bug could simply be a problem in cmd_cancel_line(). It sets _game.inputBuffer[0] to 0, but shouldn't it also set _game.cursorPos to 0?

I've committed my proposed fix. Ctrl-C seems to work fine now. I'm not sure I understand what's wrong with how ESC works, though. When I play the games in DOSBox, ESC activates the menu bar just like in ScummVM.

I have 3 versions of SQ1-EGA: 1.0X, 1.1A & 2.2. In 1.0X & 1.1A when you press ESC it will say: "Game paused. Press ENTER to continue." In 2.2 it will activate the menu bar. I don't know if this behavior is script-based or interpreter-based.

Ah. Well, it looks like the behaviour of ESC is hard-coded. There are numerous comments in detection_tables.h stating that "The original game did not have menus, they are enabled under ScummVM" or, in a few cases, "Does not have menus, crashes if menus are enforced."
So the policy seems to be to enable menus whenever it's possible.

I'll close this then, since the part that's definitely a bug should be fixed now.

I noticed the ESC brings up the menu if the platform is set to DOS (instead of pausing the game). Using the menu it is possible to pause the game.
