New description:

 Here are save files with a couple items.

 - In the original, picking an item from the inventory does not close the
 inventory; ScummVM closes it immediately;

 - Clicking an item when an item is already in-hand should just drop the
 held item, not pick up another one;

 - The entire inventory popup, not only the individual black squares,
 should be the hitbox for dropping a held item. (We should wildly click in
 that area to drop an item conveniently instead of needing to carefully
 target one of the boxes; I found myself often accidentally clicking the
 brown borders between black boxes, and my item would not drop when I
 wanted it to.) Effectively, double-clicking the inventory taskbar icon
 should drop a held item, as the cursor should auto-move into the toolbox
 and the whole toolbox should be good for dropping the item.

 - Most recently dropped item should be last in the list of items. (Edit: I
 *might* be wrongly asserting this because I'm only looking at a couple
 items so far...) With the hat and key in the example save files attached,
 it should be possible to reorder them; it looks like ScummVM always wants
 hat first, then key, no matter what order they are taken and dropped.
