I think it's chapter six with owyn and gorath searching for book of macros. Near where you meet the elf prince that tells you how to navigate the sleeping glades there is a shop. When I click on the rope, the shop text appears about a shop that war leader Tomas has visited many times (boasts the shop keeper). The 3 party spot bubbles disappear, owyn and gorath can still be clicked but their image is not there or the 3 circles. The shop screen never occurs and the only way to get the 3 party circles back is selecting the map. I guess it's not critical that I get in the shop, but, it was a little annoying.
