           Summary: "Listen to RawKey* events in the desktop thread" patch

   Regression SHA1: 8218a789558bf074bd26a9adf3bbf05bdb9cb88e
      Distribution: Fedora

Upgrading from 4.21 to 5.0-rc3 on fedora caused unreliability issues for
keyboard in EverQuest (EQ below):
 - windowed EQ window sometimes (!) taking input when not focused, even when
hidden in another workspace
 - modifier keys (shift, alt, ctrl) sometimes working, sometimes not.. For
example right shift seemed to work well exactly once immediately after
defocusing/refocusing the window, but not after that, while the left shift key
worked a bit better for some reason. I couldn't figure out why or what he hell
is happening.

Well, anyway, game input goes pretty bonkers and the game is much more
difficult to play. I know EQ makes heavy use of raw inputs itself, it
reprocesses all keys not as input letters but as key presses and this leads to
some weird input sometimes (e.g. typing fast enough with a bit of graphical lag
will queue input letters, but pressing shift then will affect letters currently
being processed in the backlog, this is pretty interesting and probably not
wine's fault); but this patch takes it to a whole new level.


I bisected the staging tree down to this patch:
patches/user32-rawinput-keyboard/0004-winex11.drv-Listen-to-RawKey-events-in-the-desktop-t.patch
introduced in staging commit 8218a789 ("Updated rawinput patchsets")


Happy to test things if required, or report somewhere else if that helps.


Thanks!
