Default Simon 3d: Stuck inside phone booth (probably bug)!

I wonder if anyone else seen this problem.

I walk up to the phone booth and the telephone icon lit up in the upper right corner of the screen. I press action and the map opens. I press on a new location (tested several different locations).
There's a loading screen and then I see the new phone-booth on screen.
After a second or two Simon appears inside the new phone-booth, the door opens. Then Simon takes a few steps in the same spot. After that the door closes when Simon still stands inside the phone booth, effectively trapping him inside. First after the door closes, the HUD appears again and I regain control over him.

However, since I am trapped inside the phonebooth, I cannot move more than a few feet. I have full control over Simon, I can look around, use the JoJo etc, I just cannot leave the phonebooth.
All I can do in there is to take Action on the phonebooth again, which spawns the mapscreen, but regardless where I teleport, the same scenario repeats repeats. I simply cannot leave the phonebooth!

This happens everytime I use a phonebooth.

Have anybody seen this problem before?

*sigh*
I gave Simon 3d my best, despite everything I heard about the game...
I guess it ended here.

huh, Ive had a similar problem where if I tried going into the hut at the beginning (where you find the porn mag) then it would animate him going in but i would still be seeing outside, then trying to use the door would send my view inside the hut and have simon back outside

But I had already completed the game once so I wasnt exactly motivated enough to figure out what was wrong.

you could try finding out if theres some way to go into no clip mode or something

That particular bug is fixed by the patch.

Yep. This one. No idea whether it's been updated since I first used it though.

That's an idea, but Simon 3d isnt the most supported game on the market. I havnt found any forums where I can ask and Simon 3d gotta be the only adventuregame ever released that doesnt have any f.a.q at all on GameFaq's.
