Summary0006373: Failure to pick lock of chest
DescriptionIn Tears of St. Lucia, player may inadvertently fail to pick the lock of the chest in the Priest's room near (-2412.59 815.85 12.38 11.6 -91.5 0.0) for two reasons:
* The chest can not be picked when pointing to the body of the chest. It can only be picked when pointing to the lid of the chest. This is somewhat misleading since the lock mechanism appears to be on the body of the chest (the trefoil and the cross).
* If the player is too far away from the chest (even when the chest is highlighted, and when pointing to the lid), the picks are not highlighted (red or green) when frobbing but instead a "locked chest"-sound is played which may be interpreted as "lockpicks does not work on this lock".

A player believing the chest lock cannot be picked may start a futile search for a key to open the chest, a key that does not exist.

Possible solutions (both should be implemented):
* Make it possible to pick the lock regardless of whether player points to the lid or the body of the chest.
* Don't highlight chest until player is close enough to pick its lock.

This defect is present in both TDM 2.11 and TDM 2.12/64 #10584 (beta212-01).
