https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50197 Bug ID: 50197 Summary: cmd and winedbg: Unable to insert some chars (*, _) with de-adnw keyboard layout Product: Wine Version: 5.22 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winedbg Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: joachim.priesner.bugs(a)web.de Distribution: --- To reproduce: $ setxkbmap de adnw Press Caps Lock + "G" (on a US keyboard) -> An asterisk "*" is inserted. $ wine winedbg or $ wine cmd Press Caps Lock + "G" again. Expected: An asterisk "*" is inserted Actual: The input is ignored. The same thing happens when trying to copy-paste an asterisk character from another application. Effectively, I am unable to insert some characters like _ and * in winedbg. I bisected the issue to the following commit: commit 54e117018cd4cc58c258da92686bfad13946bde2 Author: Jacek Caban <jacek(a)codeweavers.com> Date: Mon Sep 21 17:07:29 2020 +0200 kernelbase: Use conhost to handle Unix consoles. Maybe the following lines in programs/conhost/conhost.c are responsible: + if (ir.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.UnicodeChar && !(ir.Event.KeyEvent.dwControlKeyState & LEFT_ALT_PRESSED)) + edit_line_insert( console, &ir.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.UnicodeChar, 1 ); introduced by commit 01d203eebf60a4f07be658e6a66d50909c90cf75 Author: Jacek Caban <jacek(a)codeweavers.com> Date: Mon Sep 14 18:46:04 2020 +0200 conhost: Introduce IOCTL_CONDRV_READ_CONSOLE ioctl. It seems that the LEFT_ALT_PRESSED flag is set for that particular key combination although I did not press the left alt key (but rather Caps Lock). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
