"1 . There is a ladder on the west wall leading up to level 1, location 19, as well as a silver key lying on the ground."

Unfortunately we can't reproduce these bugs, neither with Windows nor Linux. There aren't any mouse pointers showing up in the inventory and the key in Level 2 is right where it is supposed to be.

Maybe this is a problem with the game data. What game version do you have? Where did you get it?

I have no such issue with my game version. I get a silver key on the ground when starting that level.

The OP has mentioned on IRC that he has obtained this game via an illegal download: http://logs.scummvm.org/log.php?log=scummvm.log.10Jan2015&format=html

This looks to be an issue with that specific pirated version. We do not support pirated versions, so I suggest we close this bug report as "Won't fix".

Since this is one of the spots where the game copy protection kicks in, perhaps this version is somehow cracked, and this messes up the location of the silver key?

Resolution: → wontfix
Status: new → closed

Since this bug is likely due to corrupted datafiles or game protection, and is not replicable in any case, closing this as WONTFIX.
