Description Aram Agajanian 2014-02-17 23:48:46 UTC
Description of problem:
We have a reporting software named Argos which runs well under Wine.  However, it is often the case the the keyboard input isn't recognized.  Interestingly, a login screen appears first and you can always login.  Later, however, when you want to enter a filename into a file selection dialog, you cannot enter the text.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wine-1.7.8-1.fc20.i686

How reproducible:
It seems to happen most of the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Run Argos in Wine.
2.  Log in.
3.  Query a report.
4.  Try to save the results of that report to a file.

Actual results:
You cannot type the filename into the file selection dialog.  When the cursor appears in the Filename text input field, pressing a key doesn't cause any characters to appear.

Expected results:
Clicking on the Filename text input field and pressing a key should cause a character to appear in the field.

Additional info:
The problem goes away when you set the XMODIFIERS environment variable to '' as per the following forum discussion:

If this is an outstanding Wine bug (your link dates back 6 years ago...) you should see if this has been reported upstream.

If you find a bug or create one please link it here.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 10:57:34 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 15:16:21 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
