[Bug 11589] New: Strange keyrepeat problem

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11589

Summary: Strange keyrepeat problem
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.54.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dinput
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

While playing Half Life 2, I've encountered following problem: sometimes key
'stucks' in 'keyrepeat mode'. Ie. I press 'W' for forward, and I get 'W' in
keyrepeat WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW(...). It is system-wide, so if I launch
xterm, I got WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..., if I switch console got WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...
and so on, until I kill X. It is not limited to 'W', it is just most often key
I'm stuck with.

It is not hardware problem (tested).

If it's a system wide problem, then the problem is not in wine. File a bug with
your distro/X.

You said yourself that it's system wide.

If you get the problem, then run 'wineserver -k' does the problem go away
without killing X?

Then the problem is not in wine. It is in X/your distribution.

Does someone have it resolved ?
I've opened a bug report against Mandriva bugzilla.
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=40720

Please let me know if someone has a bug report against another distro, would be
wise to join our forces to kill this bug.

I have this happening to me as well, and I'm running Arch Linux. It only starts
to happen when I'm in Wine, but continues even if I quit the application that I
am running via Wine.

I get the same problem as the OP. I'm running a game under Wine (Jedi Knight
II: Jedi Outcast, in my case). About 5-10 minutes into the game, whatever key
I'm pressing down at that particular moment gets repeated forever. When I exit
the game, the key is still pressed down, making it impossible to use a terminal
to debug it further. It also prevents me from switching to other terminals or
restarting X via Ctrl-alt-bksp. I've noticed that when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, the
character 'P' is printed out among the repeated characters, so it may be
possible that the keyboard is getting remapped. Since I cannot use a terminal
when this problem is occurring, I made a script I could double click that kills
X. This fixes the problem until the game is run again.
