Noticed that when the sim is paused and the phone is ringing you can press the 'A' key and it will open the answer call dialog box, which if you try to open from the telephone calls (F6) dialog box it won't and instead gives you a message box that tells you "Can't answer a call whilst paused"

As someone with accessibility/disability needs that pauses a lot can I plead for this to NOT be changed? This would negatively effect me.

I have added a note to the ticket for this to be discussed before any decision taken.

Thanks

Alternatively at least an option to MUTE the phone sound effect while paused, as that's usually the real reason I'm answering - just to get it to stop buzzing at me as I squint and pan around and try to find whatever obscure siding.
