[Bug 17511] New: Keyboard producing dual events when game starts with NumLock turned on

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17511

Summary: Keyboard producing dual events when game starts with
                    NumLock turned on
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.15
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P4
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When starting the game Euro Truck Simulator with NumLock on, pressing any
keyboard key ingame yields a dual event: that key's action + pause. This
renders the game basically unplayable when using the keyboard, as your
simulated truck's accelerator as well as many other important functions are
mapped to the keys.

Here's the thing: while I was scouring through the bug list looking for clues
to fix the problem, I ran across this bug: 10266, which is what gave me the
idea to look to the NumLock key for a possible solution. As it turns out,
starting the game with NumLock turned off does indeed fix the problem (turning
NumLock off while ingame, however, does not work). It seems that this may be
because the pause function is mapped to NumLock in the game, but I can't know
for sure since it's not documented. In any case, pressing NumLock ingame does
pause and unpause the game properly.

The other people who have posted results for the game give it a Platinum rating
and don't mention it behaving like this.

Anyway, as I said, there is an easy, temporary fix that makes the game
perfectly playable, which is why I gave this report a Priority 4, but without
that fix it's an exercise in futility (hence, severity Major).

(I don't understand enough about this stuff to know if I'm posting about a bug
that's been reported previously or not--the reports here tend to use technical
language--but please know that I did try to research it before posting. The
person who approved my test results at WineAppDB requested that I submit a bug
report here about it, so that's what I'm doing.)

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 ("Intrepid Ibex") with all current updates on an AMD64
Dual Core 4600 machine w/2Gb RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8800GT, and a Saitek Eclipse
II USB keyboard. My wine install is clean, but I do have winetricks installed.
