SYMPTOMS
When you click an item while either Melanie (in the Projects Room) or McZee (in the Ideas Room, Projects Room, and so on) is talking, and/or giving instructions, the action associated with that item is not started. The second time you click in the same place, the action associated with that item is carried out.



RESOLUTION
This is by design. Clicking anywhere on the screen should stop Melanie or McZee talking, but you should click an item again to activate that item.



MORE INFORMATION
The instructions that McZee and Melanie give are presented as videos (.avi files) that overlay the background. Clicking the area of the screen where the video is playing only stops the delivery of instructions. When instructions are being given, there are two applications running: 3D Movie Maker and the instructions video. Clicking the video closes that application; you can then proceed to click an item you want.
