Cutscene and Area Transition causes game to hang

A very minor bug.

I had killed the party in the Den of the Seven Vales.

I highlighted the party and hit the downstairs transition point. Just as I was about to go down Dorn interjected with his quest dialogue. However as I was so close to the transition I still went downstairs. This resulted in a long black screen (30 seconds or so) before entering the new area. The game appeared to be stuck in dialogue mode but with no dialogue present. I was unable to do anything and so had to reload.

    @decado: Sorry for the late response here. Can you re-produce this consistently? Do you happen to have a save this happens in?

    It sounds like a time related condition however (Dialog initiation at just the right time while in area transition)?

    @Illydth I'm afraid I don't. It was such a minor thing and obviously due to the timing of Dorn's dialogue kicking in exactly as the area transition tried to load.

    @decado: It's ok, the description is enough for me to try to reproduce this.
