--- Comment #3 from Camilla Berglund elmindreda@elmindreda.org 2011-04-20 08:42:50 CDT --- After the bug has triggered, I've found that it's sometimes possible to recover from it by repeatedly pressing the key the game thinks is being held down. However, while it can (on my system) take hours for the bug to trigger, once it has it will reoccur frequently.
I'm currently using Wine 1.3.18 from the Ubuntu PPA, but I have encontered this bug in every version of 1.3 that I've tried. It also happens regardless of whether I disable joysticks (bUse Joystick=0).
