           Summary: 2weistein + ElDorado: y and z switched with German
                    keyboard/locale
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.24
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: hoehle at users.sourceforge.net


I'm using the German version of both apps below, with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 typical
of a German locale and a German keyboard with Ubuntu Intrepid. One
particularity of the German keyboard is that Y and Z are switched.

2weistein is entirely driven by mouse except in the savegame dialog. There, z
and y are switched (as if I were using a US keyboard) when entering the file
name.

El Dorado (German localised version) uses the y key to run. I must press the z
key (between t and u) instead (in both the configuration menu and during game
play).

The bug about 2weistein also occurs with MacOS X.5.7, XQuartz 2.3.3.2 and
Apple's German keyboard.

Many other apps work fine.

I thought Wine had code to sort-of revert the locale-dependent keyboard mapping
(like dosbox). 2weistein is surprising, since one would not expect it to use
low-level scancodes or similar in basically a file requester -- and it
originates from Germany, so it undoubtfully works well in a German MS-Windows.

Maybe the default code page selection does not work correctly? I also own a
very old French title ("Kiyeko et les voleurs de nuit"; it says "win3.1
minimum") that supports 5 European languages and starts in English even with
LANG=fr_... (the French locale files are installed on the Ubuntu system). I
wrote no bug report so far because I couldn't test yet how it starts in
MS-Windows.
