Took me a little while--found her name actually outside of the closet, just a little to the right of the doorknob to the closet.

So.... Is this bug going to be fixed? While I can appreciate it doesn't prevent users from finishing the game it's still very irritating

I hate to sound negative, but it seems TellTale really doesn't care about fixing these things, as long as the game is playable. Even with the Reality 2.0 glitch, they didn't even do any bugfixing, they just put out an older version of the episode where the puzzle works, but other features like running are removed.

GOG updated the installer for Sam & Max Season 1 to version 2.0.0.25 and I thought they might have finally done something about this bug. Guess what, Sybil is still invisible!
GOG is still selling the game for 30$ with this bug that makes this episode un-playable if you don't happen to find this thread and they've known about the bug for over a year and still don't do anything about. Really, even replacing episode 1 with an older version to fix this like they did with the Reality 2.0 glitch would have been better than this mess...

Minor edit: the patch addresses problems with Episode 5. We are, however, working on getting the other episodes fixed. Thank you for your patience, guys :D.
In the meantime, should this thread maybe be stickied? Ep. 1 can't be completed without the work-around it documents.

There's some more info in this thread, starting with post 2295 and a statement from GOG staff member Thiev in post 2300
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_update_thread/post2295
So unless Thiev somehow manages to reverse-engineer a fix without the help from Telltale this problem will remain indefinitely and it would be helpful for new players to sticky this thread.

Far be it from me to perform thread necromancy, but yes, I can confirm that this game-breaking bug is still present, and will probably always be.
Unless someone is dedicated enough to reverse engineer the code, disassemble it and wade through memory dumps of different versions to find out what is wrong. Which to my admittedly limited programming knowledge would be akin to trying to find a book in a library, blindfolded.
And even if a solution was found, I'm pretty sure that legal reasons would prevent gog from including it in the download, best we could hope for is a link in the forums.
So yeah, we're stuck with it.
I'm curious though, does this happen in all windows versions, or is it only W7? Has anyone experienced it in xp?

It happens to me on Windows 8.1. Pretty annoying not to have a patch for this, or at least a more prominent warning that it will happen.
