Summary: LOOMCD: Subtitles impossible to turn off

Initial Comment:
I've sent this bug in before, but it has disapeared from 

the database and not been fixed in the latest version 

(0.41).



When LOOM CD starts a message from ScummVM is 

generated that says: "Press F9 to toggle subtitles".



The user then clicks their mouse to get past this 

message and the control of the game begins.



Now pressing F9 brings ups the following messages 

alternately:



"Text WILL appear on the screen"



and



"Text WILL NOT appear on the screen"



Which ever one is chosen, text always appears on the 

screen to match the dialogue.



This was seen when using an MP3 to recreate the 

sound, and has not been tested with an actual CD, 

although I don't know if it would make any difference?



I have also tried adding the "nosubtitles=true" line to 

the LOOM CD section of the scummvm.ini file, but that 

failed to make any difference.



Thanks.

Thunderpeel, this is how the original interpreter behaves. Try 

it under DOS. Definitely a feature request -- not a bug.

Please stop messing with our tracking system. It is up to us to 

decide what we consider a bug, and what not. Same goes for item 

priorities, *we* decide in which order we are going to fix things.

Umm? It IS a bug! The user is told to press F9 to turn the 

text on and off. A message pops up TELLING the user that 

the text has been turned off... but it doesn't actually work!



It wouldn't be a bug if these +ScummVM+ messages weren't 

there, but they are! It's like saying "Press F5 to save your 

game" and nothing happening when they press F5: It's not 

a "feature request", it's a bug!



To reiterate: The messages are generated by ScummVM, not 

LOOM. To fix the bug the messages could be removed (a 

temporary fix) or they could fix the problem.



Thanks.

This is not a bug, and it has not disappeared, it has been moved to 

the feature request section: <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/
