0.5.0 RC: MM(V2) Inventory doesn't work under certain circum

Description

Sometimes, when switching kids, the inventory doesn't work. It looks empty, but with an arrow pointing upwards, as if there's something higher up. The arrow doesn't do anything, though. One way I've found of fixing it, is to switch to another kid, move his inventory all the way to the top, and switch back again.

Additional: After experimenting with this, I think I can conclude that this only happens when the person you're switching from (or the last person to have a working inventory) has his inventory at a lower position than exists in the inventory of the person you're switching to. To paraphrase: if Syd's inventory is at items 7-10, and you switch to Bernard who has only 2 items at this time, this bug occurs. The solution: Switch back to Syd, move his inventory to the top, and switch back again.

Note to developer: I think the cause of this must be that the position of the inventory is stored in a single variable, rather than in a separate one for each character.
