I've found a wierd bug in keyboard handling. The problem is that wine doesn't seem to correctly translate key board messages. The program receives WM_KEYDOWN VK_NUMPAD2 and WM_KEYUP VK_DOWN(really bad).
I've traced the bug to dlls/x11drv/keyboard.c. Apparently EVENT_event_to_vkey correctly converts KeyPress message, but not KeyRelease messages. If you look at the source code there is a hack of sorts for numpad keys. EVENT_event_to_vkey calls something from X to get a keysym, and does some special handling for numpad 0-9 and dot.
Apparently for the KeyRelease event that doesn't work, keysym comes back as 0, causing EVENT_event_to_vkey to malfunction.
This bug doesn't always happen (but it does most of the time). I'm scared this might be a bug in my X, but I hope it's not. BTW, isn't there a better way to handle numpad stuff?
Here is the relevant portion of the wine log:
