--- Comment #16 from cambamber@yahoo.co.uk 2012-05-13 05:48:42 CDT --- I'm seeing the same behaviour in 1.5.4 and 1.5.3. The XMODIFIERS command has no effect, neither does setting 'Space=AcceptOrSelect' in the User.ini, nor setting the -nointro flag. Using WINEDEBUG=+keyboard,+key I can that X is receiving the keyboard messages and interpreting them correctly.
What's really confusing though is that the keyboard works fine in the menu system, but is only ignored during the loading screen. Also it's not just the spacebar, in the loading screen you can use the arrow keys to change the helpful tip - these are also ignored.
I also tried doing the same for DefUser.ini, in case "my" User.ini wasn't being loaded, but it had no effect.
