Tested with wine staging 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 same problem.
But there is a workaround.
Start the game, once you hear the police sound:
- Alt + Tab to another window
- Click directly onto the GTA V window
- Alt + Tab to another window
- Click directly onto the GTA V window
This workaround does not work on my computer either.
The keyboard input issue has been reported there: bug 43102. Affected people should add themselves to that bug.
