    I wasn't able to reproduce this with the English talkie
    version. Though it could be that it only happens when
    something goes wrong at exactly the right time, so it might
    be helpful to know your subtitle and talk speed settings.

    A savegame could be useful, too.

    I think it does have to do with subtitle speeds, since when
    I ran through at subtitle+voice with subtitle speed 2, it
    didn't do it. But at subtitle speed 9 it did it again.

    I must have missed when this bug report was updated. I still
    can't reproduce it, though.

    There are several paths through this scene, e.g. you can
    give Doug the pecan candy even before you start talking to
    him. Which one did you take? Was it speech+subtitles at
    maximum subtitle speed? Skipped any parts of it? Etc.

    The path through the scene doesn't seem to matter and the bug occurs in both
    samnmax and in samnmaxa

    To see the bug, give Doug the candy just when he reaches for more blue stuff to
    put in his mouth. It's too late if he gets his hand back into the bowl again.

    Here are some gamesaves when it happens:

    I finally managed to reproduce it, so it still happens.

    The problem happens with the original interpreter as well.

    Very good, then at least we aren't doing anything wrong :-)

    Now we could of course try to implement a workaround for this, but that's of a
    lower priority.
