I have a bad feeling about this now. :(

No patches. Just WINE.

I've played CoH for at least 2 years with WINE before having this problem.

The only thing I've done is upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 from 8.10.

Nope, I was using my plain vanilla IBM PS/2 105 key keyboard (model number KB-9910 Rev: E02). Non-multimedia. Looks like the old Mac keyboards, but with the Windows key. I'm now using a ZBoard without any special software. Both keyboards have the same problem with the plain vanilla IBM PS/2 keyboard having the problem first. And I've been using the IBM keyboard (it's NOT a multimedia keyboard) all this time until I started having this problem. Then I attempted to troubleshoot by using the only USB keyboard I have which is my ZBoard WITHOUT trying to find and install any special software to get the multimedia keys to work. REPEAT: I have not installed any software for the ZBoard. It's working as a normal unmodified 105 key keyboard.

It could be the upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04. If it is the only way I can think of to be sure is to sipe the hard drive and reinstall 9.04 from a CD. If that's the case then I can stand having the problem in CoH since it really doesn't impact performance. Just a little annoying if I forget to tap a second key to get the first key to work right.
