Comment (by bluegr):
Thanks for the detailed report and the side-by-side screenshot, it made
this easy to track down.
First, about "Arizona": this topic is not unlocked during play, it is on
the phone from the very beginning of the game. ScummVM used to skip it,
which was fixed in July. Since it is only added when a new game begins,
and your playthrough started before that fix, it is unfortunately missing
from your saved games and will not come back in them. Opening this topic
doesn't trigger anything in the game, so it won't block your progress. A
new game started with a current build has it as the first entry.
As for the other three, your guess at the end was right: the topics
weren't missing, the scroll buttons were broken. In the original, each
click on an arrow scrolls the list by one row. In ScummVM, the arrows were
moving an invisible selection instead, so the list only started to move
after about nine clicks. Your screenshot shows the first nine topics of
your list; "Arrowhead Collecting", "Kelleher" and "Power Line Safety" are
right below them.
This is now fixed: the arrows scroll the search list (and the e-mail list,
which had the same problem) one row per click.
While looking into this I also fixed a related issue: a few topics (e.g.
"Scorpions" and "Saguaro Cactus") didn't register correctly as read when
opened. For existing saves, this corrects itself the next time you travel
between locations.
Could you try again with the next daily build and let me know if the three
topics show up at the bottom of the list?
