Current SVN All versions
When examining an inventory item, the descriptive text is supposed to be displayed until the mouse button is released (but no less than 800 ms).
If you click on the item really quickly, it's quite possible that the mouse button release event will be processed before fnLookAt() is called, so it will never receive the button up event it's waiting for. (Not as serious as it sounds -- you can always click again, or press escape.)

(Assigning to Fingolfin, since this may concern the backends.)
As I already pointed out, the problem is that waiting for a mouse button release event isn't reliable, because it may already have happened by the time this function is called. We either need to make sure the event hasn't been processed already - which may be tricky - or we need a way to query the up/down status of the mouse buttons.
In this particular case, it would be awfully convenient if there was a function for this in the backend. Failing that, the Sky engine could define its own "poll event" function and have that one keep track of mouse button events. I'm attaching a quick-and-possibly-dirty proof-of-concept patch.
