Comment (by TrivialBalderdash):

 For completeness, I should have also commented on all the things that did
 work well.
 All the correct videos showed up, aligned with the choices I made in the
 game. The navigation between pages and back to the diary after the video
 worked perfectly. I only did a little testing with the "Alternate Plot",
 but that seemed to work correctly also.  I tried reloading and restarting
 to see if old decisions/videos stayed in the diary, but they were updated
 as expected. Overall, a great update to this part of the game!

 I had previously mentioned that the pages in the casebook were not in the
 order visited. I will add that the order of the pages to review videos is
 in the same order as what's listed on the "Places I've Been" page. (Both
 are out of order but match each other.) When the list is fixed, hopefully
 the pages also adjust to follow the correct order.

 I noticed two additional things when testing this morning.

 On my first visit to Delores Gonzales' Apartment, there was no one home. I
 was able to look around, but there was nothing to save in the Casebook
 (correct behavior). The casebook did list the apartment under "Places I've
 Been" (also correct behavior), but clicking on the location didn't go
 anywhere.  Also, scrolling page by page, left and right at the bottom of
 the page, took me past where the page for that location would have been.
 In the original game, there's a blank page for her apartment, with the tab
 shown on the left. In ScummVM, it doesn't exist.

 Second, the clickable area for the "Places I've Been" items is different
 than the original. On the original, as you move down the page, the cursor
 is always over a link.  In ScummVM, it's alternates between a clickable
 link and the arrow cursor.  It's as if the orginal uses a box for the
 clickable area and ScummVM uses the text only. I'll try to illustrate what
 I think is happening in the attached screenshot.
