Thanks for your explanation.

I found out this has to do with the way I configure my Caps_Lock and Control
keys. If I use the standard configuration (Caps_Lock as Caps_Lock),
then everything is fine and Control_L works as expected in WINE.

I have to argue. I WANT to use both Caps_Lock and Control_L as control keys.
In every other application, this works as expected, just not in wine.
There is no external program messing with key states.

You don't even need to configure anything else,
just add the following commands to your .Xmodmap
or use xmodmap -e "<command>":

  remove Lock = Caps_Lock
  keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
  add Control = Control_L

So WINE simply does not respect my X keyboard configuration.
I can use Caps_Lock as Control_L (which is what I do most of the
time), but then the real Control_L will not function as Control_L
in WINE. This is wrong, and this is why I reported this bug.

Please see my initial posting.
This worked in <wine-0.9.59. Why doesn't it work now?
