Bug #: 31030 Summary: wine keymapping assigns „No Symbol” to some keys on all keymaps Product: Wine Version: 1.3.36 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: renekuligowski@alice-dsl.net Classification: Unclassified
In every Wine version I tested –– 1.0.1, 1.1.42, 1.3.36 and 1.5.6 –– the keyboard mapping shows the annoying habit that several keys don't get associated with a symbol; XF86Explorer reports „(0) No Symbol (0) No Symbol (0) No Symbol…” to stderr for ^ (or ~ on german keyboards), the windows and menu keys, and some keys on the keypad. This is regardless of the X11 keymap used in xorg.conf or the one set via gnome/kde keyboard switchers, even of input methods like ibus, uim, or scim (I deactivated them all and tried plain „C” locale with latin-1 instead of utf-8). Curiously, in GUI applications these keys work, but they don't in DirectX applications, like games (eg. the TES series or shooters) or rendering/modeling engines.
