New description:

 A couple things in the petroglyph puzzle,

 - in the original we can place glyphs in any square of the grid, and the
 corresponding (wrong) decoding appears along the bottom; in ScummVM, we
 can *only* place glyphs in the highlighted boxes;

 - while a glyph is held, it should use small graphic, not large;

 - the hand should disappear while holding a glyph (so the cursor is just
 the glyph, no hand);

 - backing away from it [when accessing it by clicking a glyph, for example
 in scene 3353], a click should be heard as puzzle returns to inventory.

Comment:

 This was an accident (can't believe I didn't notice it myself until now),
 but I actually misreported one of the issues in this ticket. The
 implemented fix is according to my report, not what actually happens in
 the original game.

 I think it would be really good to verify the behaviour of fixes against
 the original game, not totally trusting what I write, because I'm wrong
 sometimes too and it's tough for me to catch my own mistakes :)

 Editing the ticket now. Actual cursor problem while holding a glyph: the
 cursor should *become* the glyph (with no hand) until it is put down
 somewhere.
