Bug ID: 57097
           Summary: Keyboard inputs for special characters on non-english
                    keyboards are switched in winewayland
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.16
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winewayland

I noticed that if I use a german keyboard layout, the key mapping seems to be
off. I'm using kwin_wayland (but also tested on sway, same result).

The regular lower keys are ok, but example, ö produces ü, # produces ä, etc.

Looking at dlls/winewayland.drv/wayland_keyboard.c, I saw that there are
different lookup tables for different languages (scan2vk_qwerty,
scan2vk_azerty. scan2vk_qwertz, ...), so my first quess was that something
might be switched there.
But that doesn't really seem the case, changing it to always use
`scan2vk_qwertz ` regardless of `lang` makes it work.
I don't really have a very good understanding of how this is supposed to work,
but does the appliaction really need to do such a translation? Isn't that
already handled by the layout being passed in? At least that would explain why
it works when doing no such lookup at all.

Tested again in wine-10.0rc1, issue is still present.

Skipping the switch that selects the lookup table still works around it.
