[Bug 20707] New: Keyboard character entry not working (Tab, Del, Backspace are Ok)

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20707

Summary: Keyboard character entry not working (Tab, Del,
                    Backspace are Ok)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.15
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://brodtec.com
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdi32
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail]

This problem is better explained by the following screenshots:

Here keyboard input works fine (although one needs to use Alt+Key combination
instead of mouse clicks in the internal application Windows).

Here the keyboard char input stops working, although TAB, Shift+Tab, Backspace,
Del, keeps working. Also notice the chars appears as vertical bars.

Here is the output of the regression testing:

brod-laptop wine-git # git bisect good
e93d3481092f7abe72cdbab066947717f5e568a0 is first bad commit

gdi32: Improve calculation of the character code text metrics.

1.1.15-51-g9d9880b is the working version before the bug
1.1.15-52-ge93d348 is the one that introduced the bug (it is still there in the
latest devel version)

I got into this bug trying to see if I could solve the "mouse clicks" problem
on internal windows (where I am forced to use the Alt+key combination instead)

Thanks for any help!

Cesar, since you seem to be the developer of the software and this bug report
is quite old, could you:

a) retest, or

b) send me a copy so that I can test it myself

Please note that the URL on the bug report does not point to a downloadable
copy of the software and therefore is mostly spam.

Please retest with the current git.  Commit

The bug os from 2009, the original reporter is not responding to a request I
made in June (comment #2). The software is not available as far as I can tell.
I suggest to close it as abandoned.

Duplicate would be more appropriate than abandoned.  The bug affects multiple
applications.

Fine, but the dups should have been fixed, either way this is done.
