[Bug 48151] AceMoney (or any other non-unicode program): can't enter cyrillic letters into text fields when using custom keyboard layout

The logs show that Wine is interpreting the keys correctly.  It translates them
to the proper Unicode characters.  The only difference in behavior among the
logs is the HKL (Windows handle to a keyboard layout) associated with each Mac
keyboard layout.

Did you save it as a .keylayout file or a bundle?  I did a bit of experimenting
with Ukelele and, when it saves as a bundle, it includes a key
("TISIntendedLanguage") in the bundle's Info.plist file for the language
("ru").  There doesn't seem to be any indication of language in .keylayout
files.

Wine has to generate a keyboard-layout handle (HKL) to report to Windows apps. 
That HKL is based on the language code ID.  It appears that Wine is not able to
determine the language of your custom keyboard layouts.  That probably leads
the app to use an incorrect code table when interpreting the characters
generated by the key events.
