Door in Emile Dufraisne's office bug

[Nat]

Running the game for XP.

Safecracking works fine, so does assembling mines(misinterpreted the controls here); there's a door adjoining Emile's office to a hallway leading to his bedroom, you may just be able to sneak into the hallway after him when he goes to retire if you're lucky but if you can't then kiss goodbye to getting hold of his personal info as if you sneak right toward the door the open icon appears for a split microsecond, making it impossible to open.

I don't suppose anyone else has encountered this bug, or has a fix for the interaction if they have?

Alternatively, you can grab Emile's personal info from his room in JBA HQ Part 3 (the door appears to've swapped hinges from one side to the other since JBA HQ Part 2), although you have to get him to leave his balcony without actually seeing you, which I've managed twice, so it isn't impossible, but it is dicey.

i can confirm this bug, happens with both 1.0 and 1.02a versions

You have to grab his attention without letting him see you, he'll leave the balcony and his place is all yours for his personal info.

i did so in the JBA HQ part three mission. thanks.
anyway in the part 4 (the final mission) this bug seems to be fixed and i could open this door without problems. (i could even have used noclip to get inside now that I think)
