[Bug 18296] New: DInput has issues with KDE4.2 keyboard input repeat.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18296

Summary: DInput has issues with KDE4.2 keyboard input repeat.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.20
          Platform: PC-x86-64
               URL: http://www.coh.com
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dinput
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

After upgrading to Kubuntu Jaunty, City of Heroes characters show a horrible
staggering when you try move consistently in any direction.  The character
animation resets at the interval equivalent to the keyboard delay.

So, it's as if the application is seeing you press the key over and over -
instead of holding it down.

Turning off keyboard repeat in the system options eliminates this issue. 
Modifying the delay only slows the initial staggering.

This issue also seems to affect Ubuntu Linux, Jaunty 9.04.  Turning off the
option for "Key presses repeat when key is held down..." in the Keyboard window
under System -> Preferences fixes the issue.  Wine version used is 1.01.

Obviously a KDE's bug. Wine perfectly copes with repeated key presses.
Report to KDE.

*sigh*... this is why I'm loath to report wine bugs.

You never even considered that KDE4.2's approach to input just uncovered a wine
bug, did you?

That's possible, but do you have any evidence showing that it's wine's fault?
E.g., a KDE bug report that says it's a wine problem? Have you filed a bug with
KDE?

That person was also using a 6 month old version of wine....

I think closing this bug and branding it as a KDE problem is a little hasty. In
the comments section of the City of Heroes game listing there is a comment
thread discussing this problem -- specifically that if you disable auto-repeat
certain functions of the game start working again (very specifically, using the
super jump power). Significantly, the people discussing this bug consist of one
KDE user and one Gnome user. Both of us are using Jaunty but are not using the
same x environment.

Are both desktop environments doing the same wrong thing to trigger the bug?
Probably not -- one theory is that it's the latest version of the xorg server
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1146254, this thread also contains a
patch to wine that claims to fix the problem).

Is it an xorg problem or a wine problem? My prediction is that xorg will claim
its a wine problem, and wine will claim its an xorg problem... at any rate, it
is NOT specifically a KDE problem and the source of the problem isn't really
"obvious" to someone who is noticing it in a windows application.

Yes. Why is that standard X's key repeat working for everyone but this
"special" KDE's way doesn't? Points directly to something that they are doing
wrong.

Since this has been reproduced in both KDE and Gnome, why are you still
attributing it to some "special" KDE way?

It might, perhaps, be a "special" Jaunty way, since Jaunty seems to be the
common refrain.

Half-Life.  I run neither KDE nor Gnome.

Can confirm this using XFCE, so nothing to do with KDE!

It's a bug in XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat [1] which hitted upstream recently. As
far as I can tell there's still no fix in current xserver git. Perhaps we
should hack together a wine fix by comparing the timestamps of KeyPress and
KeyRelease.

I can confirm the same bug in wine 1.1.27 with an up-to-date Ubuntu 9.04 in
Gnome.

Using (System / Preferences /) Keyboard Preferences to disable "Key presses
repeat when key is held down" in the Gnome settings solves the problem for the
game.

However, one obviously has to switch back when key repeating is needed again;
for example when scrolling through text, the lack of it quickly becomes
annoying.

Thank god someone tracked this down to the correct bug.  I've seen this with
multiple games (Anarchy Online, City of Heroes, etc...), but never knew the
exact cause.

Let's see if we can't get it fixed at the source.

Theoretically "fixed" in xserver -- but so far as I know, there is not yet any
x.org release which includes the fix, so it doesn't actually HELP anyone yet.

In theory, since it's fixed at XOrg, it is up to the distributions to pull it
in?

Yes, in theory, it is up to them to pull it in.  But they're not going to for a
LONG time -- in practice, there's no chance that this will be fixed before
Ubuntu 10.04, in April, for instance.

Putting in the workaround for now, or making it at least available as an
option, would allow users on actual distributions which exist to use WINE
without horrible key repeat problems.

It's not only Wine which is affected by this X bug. This is not an option
to have workarounds for an already fixed bug. Ask your distro to include
a fix instead.

Apparently Ubuntu 10.04 includes a fixed X11, probably other distros will
