Output log of "The Sims 3" with "WINEDEBUG=+key,+keyboard"

In the game "The Sims 3" the pause command is assigned to 3 keys: 0, P and `
(the key to the left of "1", which in a Spanish keyboards outputs "º").

In Wine 1.5.6 and 1.5.26 (openSUSE 12.2) pressing that key with a Spanish
keyboard causes no effect (i.e. doesn't pause the game). It used to work before
IIRC.
The keyboard is a standard Spanish keyboard (QWERTY 105 keys + Sleep button).

Additionally, the key "ç" now pauses the game too (it shouldn't).
The "ç" key (ccedilla) is the 3rd key to the right of the L, and left to the
Enter key.

Pressing these keys in "xev" outputs:
º => keycode 49 (keysym 0xba, masculine)
ç => keycode 51 (keysym 0xe7, ccedilla)

Editing in Notepad works fine.

There is a log attached which shows the output of runing The Sims 3 with
"WINEDEBUG=+key,+keyboard".

Some interesting lines:

I've done some more experiments and I think I've found a workaround.

The workaround is to set:
LC_ALL=es_ES.ISO-8859-1
or
LC_ALL=es_ES.ISO-8859-15
before executing Wine.

With this the pause key works, and the in-game text editor works OK too (there
is a text editor in the game to edit Sims biographies, etc).
Tested these symbols among many others in the text editor: ¡¿çñ€ó.

The idea came from Wine bug #30984 which may be related.

I tested also the command "setxkbmap us" and while it fixed the pause key issue
(`) it caused other problems, like the in-game text editor working with US
layout.

Hello,

This looks like Bug 30984.
To confirm, could you check if reverting
43984f355a2905e16075a9df3d7fbe463761e853 makes it work?

If so then, it would be a duplicate.

But your workarounds in comment 1 seem interesting to "The Sims 3" users, so
maybe they should be copied to that bug(if it is a duplicate), or in the appdb
entry for "The Sims 3".

Cheers,
Marc
