I test wine often with a game called Elastomania. Wine gets better over
the years, but there is one problem that remains when playing that game:
In the menus the cursor moves two positons on a key press. The biggest
problem is that most of the menus have an odd number of items, so half
of them are not reachable.

This happens with all the versions of wine I have tested on al the
platforms I tested it on.

The game uses directx.

The problem is not in that both the keyup AND keydown events are being
interpreted, because the cursor moves twice at keydown.
The cursor does not repeat when a key is held down longer.
My not so very usefull guess is that the program tries to shut down some
sort of messaging, but that doesnt't work with wine, and the program
still listens to those events, and recieves them.

Where do keyboard events go?



this is the output when ran with no cmdline options:
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel

here is a summary of the output when ran with:
--debugmsg +key,+keyboard,+dinput

it starts with tons of:
KEYBOARD_MapDeadKeysys no character for dead keysym 0x00XXXX
and
X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout matchesG, mismatches=0, score”
X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout Attempting to match against "United Sta...
blablabla...

then:
X11DRV_InitKeyboard
fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel
DirectInputCreateA
IDirectInputAImpl_CreateDevice
keyboarddev_create_device Creating a Keyboard device (0x40464288)

then tons of:
IDirectInputDevice2AImpl_SetDataFormat

then:
IDirectInputDevice2AImpl_SetCooperativeLevel \
   (this=0x40464288,0x00010021,0x00000006)
DISCL_FOREGROUND DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE

it then does very often:
X11DRV_MapVirtualKey ... wMapType=1
and uses the return values in:
GetAsyncKeyState () which is always: -> 0

and then (at line 25711)...

X11DRV_KeyEvent state = 0
X11DRV_KeyEvent KeyPress : keysym  (space), ascii chars=1 / 20 / ' '
X11DRV_KeyEvent keycode 0x41 converted to vkey 0x20
X11DRV_KeyEvent bScan = 0x39.

I pressed the space bar!

among 'failing' GetAsyncKeyStates is now
GetAsyncKeyState (20) -> 8001
GetAsyncKeyState (20) -> 8000
GetAsyncKeyState (20) -> 8000
GetAsyncKeyState (20) -> 8000
GetAsyncKeyState (20) -> 8000

and then:
X11DRV_KeyEvent state = 0
X11DRV_KeyEvent KeyRelease : keysym  (space), ascii chars=1 / 20 / ' '
X11DRV_KeyEvent keycode 0x41 converted to vkey 0x20
X11DRV_KeyEvent bScan = 0x39.
queue_kbd_event  wParam20, lParamĀ390001, InputKeyState=1
TranslateMessage (WM_KEYUP, 0020, C0390001)

and yes:
GetAsyncKeyState (20) -> 0

for the VK_UP that gets interpreted twice, the only diffrence is a call
to X11DRV_ToUnicode that returns 0, so there is no:
TranslateMessage (WM_CHAR...

so for every keypress you get:

...
GetAsyncKeyState -> 0
GetAsyncKeyState -> 0

keydown:
X11DRV_KeyEvent
queue_kbd_event
TranslateMessage (WM_KEYDOWN...

GetAsyncKeyState -> 8001
GetAsyncKeyState -> 8000
...
GetAsyncKeyState -> 8000

keyup:
X11DRV_KeyEvent
queue_kbd_event
TranslateMessage (WM_KEYUP...
GetAsyncKeyState -> 0
...
