PC [BUG] If you continue game on Journey of the Praire King, pressing space on the title screen uses your held item

What the title says. I instinctively pressed space to skip the title screen and continue. To my surprise, the use item jingle played, and when the game resumed, I had no held item anymore. Sure enough, I consumed it.

Not that big of a deal, but preventing this would be nice. Luckily I leave my minigame sessions to the very first thing of the day.
