hello, I have the same problem but can't save during the battle (don't know if there is a quick save command and can't find it) and when I reload the save of the dialogue just before the battle it's still glitched :/
nevermind! hooray I found it! I feel less stupid and all hail the random key pressing!
Do you remember which key is q. save and q.load, because I am having a time of it trying to find them :p
Nevermind xD Figured it out after pressing every key available to me BESIDES the one I needed. ESC key to save during the battle sequence, ESC again to load and I could finally click something in the battle scene.
