-------------------------+--------------------------------
 When pressing `Esc` during dialogue of ''Whispers of a Machine''
 (`ags:whispersofamachine`), the behavior for ScummVM is different than in
 the original interpreter.

 == Reproduction Steps

 1. Start a new game
 2. While on the train with the old man (or any other dialogue), press the
 `Esc` key to bring up the menu
 3. Press the `Esc` key again to resume play

 == Original behavior

 The line of dialogue is skipped and the next one begins.

 == ScummVM behavior

 The entire scene is skipped and the next one begins.

 == Tested on

 * [https://store.steampowered.com/app/631570 Steam version of the game],
 macOS
 * ScummVM 2026.1.0, macOS
