I found a couple of things.
I found a Flare Level 2 scroll in a crate on the docks. When I dragged it over the female character's flare spell in the quick action bar, it overwrote the flare spell with the flare scroll. After casting the flare scroll, the flare spell was also gone.
I found another scroll on the beach. Something about hurling a rock. I added it to the male's quick action bar, but it was still in the inventory. I moved the inventory copy to the female's inventory, but it was still showing on the male's quick action bar. I moved it to the female's quick action bar and it was still in the male's quick action bar, but it wouldn't actually cast. The icon was there, and would change to an orange highlight when the cursor was over it, but it did not pop out the window saying what it was and could not be cast.
Walking through water or casting the rain scroll above me did not stop me from burning. Also, I could not see any flames to know that there was still fire burning in that place. (I cast a fireball at the big and 3 little crabs to create the fire).
Using <ALT> highlights some items that can be picked up (weapons that I have noticed), but did not highlight shells. (Maybe because they are are junk items? If they have a use, they should highlight...)
Map reset fog of war on load.
Other suggestion (seen elsewhere): allow full rotation of main window so we can look all around us.
