           Summary: GetKeyState does not work correctly with toggle keys
                    (VK_CAPITAL, VK_NUMLOCK, VK_SCROLL)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.16
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: user32
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

Tiny test program which demonstrates the problem (exe and C++ source)

The WINE implementation of GetKeyState does not follow the spec regarding
"toggle keys" such as caps lock, num lock and scroll lock.

The documentation states: (about the return value) "If the low-order bit is 1,
the key is toggled. A key, such as the CAPS LOCK key, is toggled if it is
turned on. The key is off and untoggled if the low-order bit is 0. A toggle
key's indicator light (if any) on the keyboard will be on when the key is
toggled, and off when the key is untoggled."

Instead, what WINE appears to do, is flip the low-order bit when a toggle-key
is "un-toggled" (on=>off). When it is toggled (off=>on), the low order bit
remains unaffected. This is obviously completely incorrect.

I have attached a demo app (zip file with exe with C++ source code) which shows
the problem. When run on windows, it displays "CAPS ON" or "CAPS OFF" in sync
with the little light on the keyboard. When run on WINE it does not stay in
sync.

Tested on 1.2.2 and 1.3.16 on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat running in
VirtualBox, host OS is Win7.
