Comment (by macca8):

 In #10133 bgK commented: "It's not possible to save in some situations
 like when in the middle of cutscenes. So the confirmation dialog cannot
 offer to save when trying to quit in that case."

 Thanks for your insight. Just a few thoughts in response...

 When ScummVM encounters your example, the Save button is disabled in the
 GMM (and any game-specific menu), so for consistency, I'd expect the same
 behaviour in the confirmation dialog.

 As such, I'm tempted to keep the dialog as proposed, and simply add an
 extra message whenever the Save option is disabled (for example, "If you
 wish to save, please allow any activity to complete before exiting the
 game."). Whatever condition/s currently disable the Save button should
 also add the extra message to the dialog.

 As for completing the save, the player cancels back to the game (the only
 other available option is Don't Save), completes the cutscene (as per
 instruction), then either saves directly or, if not, when prompted on
 quit.
