After you look at the aim of the screen or news page, the pollen from your inventory disappears and you can't complete the game. Tested on Floppy and CD english versions, ScummVM June 1, 2014, 1:25 pm, Windows.

Tested with the latest Git master and the attached savegame. Can replicate as the user indicates. Likely a script bug in the original game as the inventory seems to get a bunch of invalid number objects as well :/

Checked with Valgrind. No issues.

domino1983: Could you check with the original interpreter running under DOSBox/Win3.1 playing through to this point? i.e. does this occur in the original?

Also, please play with the latest v1.6.0 stable playing from a clean newgame and see if this occurs again? i.e. is this a bad savestate or is it reliably repeatable?

It took me a while, but I just tested the game under DOSBox and it bahaves EXACTLY the same (pollen disappears, inventory getting empty objects...).

domino1983: Thanks for confirming this.
If possible, could you attach a savestate from the original interpreter at this screen to help future developer investigation.

As this is a script bug found in the original interpreter, a workaround may be possible, but please be patient as it may take quite a while before anyone looks at this.

No problem, it's a second savestate on the list named POLLEN. This saves comes from English floppy version.
