Bug ID: 48151
           Summary: AceMoney (or any other non-unicode program): can't
                    enter cyrillic letters into text fields when using
                    custom keyboard layout
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.20
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

macOS version: 10.14.6 (18G1012)
Link to a free version of the app:
http://cdn.mechcad.net/downloads/AceMoneyLiteSetup.exe

How to reproduce:
1) Install custom keyboard layout with Cyrillic support, for example: 
https://github.com/asizikov/osx-russian-keyboard 
2) Setup AceMoneyLite under Wine. Actually you don't need even complete setup -
you can just run the installer and try to type Cyrillic letter using custom
keyboard layout into a text field where it asks for the path to install.

Expected result:
- Cyrillic letters entered and shown correctly.

Actual result:
- Cyrillic letters are entered and displayed as question marks '?'.

Note: I've used LANG, LC_ALL and other variables with different values
including ru_RU.UTF-8 - this help with showing text labels, but doesn't affect
entering Cyrillic letters into text field for non-unicode apps.

Is this specific to custom keyboard layouts, or does it also occur with the
Apple-provided Russian keyboard layouts?

At first impression, it seems like it's more a display issue (the font for the
control doesn't contain glyphs for the Cyrillic characters) than an input
problem.

If you could gather a +key,+keyboard,+event log of typing in such a field (try
not to do anything else with the keyboard for that session), that may help.

This is specific to custom keyboard layouts, even if I generate them from
system ones provided by Apple. When using Russian system layout - Cyrillic
letters are displayed correctly.

Also if I copy Russian text from outside of wine and paste it into text field -
this also works fine. So, looks like the issue is related to input and custom
keyboard layouts specifically.

Can you share which command line, environment variables or config settings can
I use to gather logs you are asking for?

Yeah. That's weird.

I've attached logs from two scenarios:
1) Entering Cyrillic letters using "Russian - PC" standard macOS keyboard
layout.
2) Entering Cyrillic letters using "Russian - BG46" custom macOS keyboard
layout.

For both, I was entering the same 4 Cyrillic letters "фыва" (same keys as
"asdf", but using Russian keyboard layout). Also, I've selected keyboard layout
before switching to the app inside wine and copied the log before closing the
app to avoid unnecessary keyboard events.

Entering Cyrillic letters using custom copy of "Russian - PC" keyboard layout.

I've created a custom copy of the "Russian - PC" standard keyboard layout using
instruction from https://superuser.com/a/665726. Recorded a log using this
custom layout to enter the same letters (this also produced '?' in the input
field).

The logs show that Wine is interpreting the keys correctly.  It translates them
to the proper Unicode characters.  The only difference in behavior among the
logs is the HKL (Windows handle to a keyboard layout) associated with each Mac
keyboard layout.

Did you save it as a .keylayout file or a bundle?  I did a bit of experimenting
with Ukelele and, when it saves as a bundle, it includes a key
("TISIntendedLanguage") in the bundle's Info.plist file for the language
("ru").  There doesn't seem to be any indication of language in .keylayout
files.

Wine has to generate a keyboard-layout handle (HKL) to report to Windows apps. 
That HKL is based on the language code ID.  It appears that Wine is not able to
determine the language of your custom keyboard layouts.  That probably leads
the app to use an incorrect code table when interpreting the characters
generated by the key events.

I saved it as a .keylaout file.

I just tried to convert .keylayout file from
https://github.com/asizikov/osx-russian-keyboard into a bundle and install it.
And that worked fine - I was able to type Russian letters into input fields.

Thanks a lot!
