 This was tested with ScummVM 2026.1.0 on Windows 10 x64, English version
 of the game.

 An item can be lost from inventory, before actually being used properly,
 and with no way to re-acruire it, rendering the game unwinnable.

 Steps to reproduce:
 At the first scene of the game:
 - Click the hand icon on the Slime to pick up some.
 - Open the inventory, left-click the hand icon, then left-click on the
 slot with the slime (the cursor will change to the slime icon)
 - Right-click to close the inventory and set the "slime" to the active
 item box (or "Stand-by window" as the manual calls it) on the top left of
 the screen
 - Either Left-click on the active item on the top left of the screen or
 scroll with the mouse wheel (which will change the cursor's active action)

 The item will be gone from top left slot (active item) and the inventory.

Comment (by antoniou79):

 Furthermore, the behavior of the "stand-by window" (active item box) is
 not correct in ScummVM.

 When clicking on it, it's supposed to stay there and the mouse cursor
 should toggle between the hand icon and the item on the stand-by window,
 as per the manual (from the game's CD).
