What is this about?!? any ideas?

"Octavia decided to be more cooperative and answer more questions..

"At that, she clammed up quick.
She'd had enough of my questions, unless there was something I could do to convince her to be more cooperative."

Moon lighter, that happened to me a few times with my old laptop... but was always because the mouse would double click of it's own accord.

It happened again. This time, I was revisiting a townie whom someone else in my agency had already asked a whole heap of questions (had Octavia as his contact).

Picking up the case, I go there in order to verify an alabi. I use 'judge of character', and according to that, charms should work:

"Base Intimidation Chance: 56
Tough Equipment Adjustment: -7
Adjusted Intimidation Chance: 49

"Base Rule Bending Chance: 39
Charming Equipment Adjustment: 21
Advanced Skill Bonus: 20
Flirting Bonus: 20
Adjusted Rule Bending Chance: 100

"It would be easier to influence Octavia by being nice."

But then when I use charm, I get the following...

"Octavia decided to be more cooperative and answer more questions..

At that, she clammed up quick.
She'd had enough of my questions, unless there was something I could do to convince her to be more cooperative."

So I think it's definitely related to revisiting a townie. Looks like a bug to me...
