--- Comment #2 from unsuspicious.fakename+wine@gmail.com 2013-07-29 03:30:01 CDT --- Sounds related. Not sure if identical. Sry, I don't know how stuff is called or works, so I can only guess:
I don't think mine has anything to do with inputrc settings. The inputrc settings and the key binds in my shell configuration are the same before and after running wine - they stay untouched (this was the first thing I tested when searching for the problem, because the symptoms would have been identical).
Don't know how that "key event mode thing" that is changed by wine is really called, but bug 31210 which is marked as a duplicate of before mentioned bug sounds closer to the problem I am having. Not sure if "keyboard escape sequence mapping" is the right word though, either.
IF those 3 are really the same bug, it would maybe be a good idea to remove the "inputrc settings" attribution from the summary and for someone who knows how all that stuff is actually called should give it a better name. At least in my case, a "loss of some inputrc settings" is clearly NOT what is happening.
