[Bug 20707] New: Keyboard character entry not working (Tab, Del, Backspace are Ok)

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20707

Summary: Keyboard character entry not working (Tab, Del,
                    Backspace are Ok)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.15
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://brodtec.com
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdi32

This problem is better explained by the following screenshots:

Here keyboard input works fine (although one needs to use Alt+Key combination
instead of mouse clicks in the internal application Windows).

Here the keyboard char input stops working, although TAB, Shift+Tab, Backspace,
Del, keeps working. Also notice the chars appears as vertical bars.

Here is the output of the regression testing:

1.1.15-51-g9d9880b is the working version before the bug
1.1.15-52-ge93d348 is the one that introduced the bug (it is still there in the
latest devel version)

I got into this bug trying to see if I could solve the "mouse clicks" problem
on internal windows (where I am forced to use the Alt+key combination instead)

Thanks for any help!
