Familiar stalls after exiting dialogue, A 6-7 seconds delay Options

[Salk]

Hello!

At first I thought it was a local problem with my installation but I made a new, clean one using the DVDs and the problem persist (tested with ToB, the very beginning of the game).

In short, every time I talk to the familiar and end the dialogue, the familiar's actions are delayed for 6-7 seconds. I cannot move, I cannot cast spell, I can't do anything. Everything resumes normally after those 6-7 seconds the familiar is stuck on a spot.

Can anybody else confirm this is normal, vanilla behavior?

I tried making some search here and there but I didn't find any topic regarding this, which makes me very suspicious it's a real bug.

I fear I am cursed...

Thanks!
