Bug ID: 40345 Summary: First program start: AltGR doesn't work Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: thouvear@wegwerfemail.de Distribution: Debian
Debian (both stable and sid), LXDE desktop Newest Wine Version
If Wine is started the first time after after starting the X server (ie. after booting, or after restarting X manually), *and* if the AltGr key wasn't used between starting X and Wine, then AlgGr and any key combination with it won't work in the started Wine program (while it works in Linux programs without problems).
Closing the started Wine program and restarting it again fixes the issue. Also, there is no problem if AltGr is used before starting Wine.
In my case, it's with Notepad++ (but happens in other programs too). Typing eg. { } [ ] on a eg. german keyboard without AltGr is impossible.
