Bug ID: 50197
Summary: cmd and winedbg: Unable to insert some chars (*, _)
with de-adnw keyboard layout
Product: Wine
Version: 5.22
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: winedbg
Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
Reporter: joachim.priesner.bugs at web.de
Distribution: ---
To reproduce:
$ setxkbmap de adnw
Press Caps Lock + "G" (on a US keyboard) -> An asterisk "*" is inserted.
$ wine winedbg
or
$ wine cmd
Press Caps Lock + "G" again.
Expected: An asterisk "*" is inserted
Actual: The input is ignored.
The same thing happens when trying to copy-paste an asterisk character from
another application.
Effectively, I am unable to insert some characters like _ and * in winedbg.
I bisected the issue to the following commit:
commit 54e117018cd4cc58c258da92686bfad13946bde2

kernelbase: Use conhost to handle Unix consoles.
Maybe the following lines in programs/conhost/conhost.c are responsible:
+ if (ir.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.UnicodeChar &&
!(ir.Event.KeyEvent.dwControlKeyState & LEFT_ALT_PRESSED))
+ edit_line_insert( console, &ir.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.UnicodeChar, 1
);

conhost: Introduce IOCTL_CONDRV_READ_CONSOLE ioctl.
It seems that the LEFT_ALT_PRESSED flag is set for that particular key
combination although I did not press the left alt key (but rather Caps Lock).
