Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

In Hardy...

Running 'Hitman 2' (the game) in wine creates a sticky key. When wine in closed the problem remains. Restarting gdm ends the problem. This has also happened once when wine was not running, I had just mashed the keyboard by mistake so have no idea what keys were pressed to cause it. It's a standard 105 keyboard using British layout, nothing special in hardware or config. Have reconfigured xserver-xorg several times, cannot fix.

Do you mean that some key seems to be stuck? Is it always the same key?

I can confirm that bug. For it me occured when running:
  1. Oblivion with wine 0.9.52. When I press '1' keys it becomes sticky
  2. World of Warcraft with wine 0.9.53. When I press 'w' or 's' it works fine for some time, but then becomes sticky

Wine is installed from http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt. I use xserver-xorg from Debian Sid (I'm using Debian BTW)

When I exit wine key remains sticky. I have to restart X session to fix that.

Sounds like a wine bug to me.

I'm getting this issue when playing Frets On Fire (not in wine). I think this is a bug with Xorg. When playing the game certain keys will stick down and i won't be able to use any other keys while they are sticky.

This is a rather serious bug, it does not only point to wine, but rather X11 as a whole, something is off here causing the issue. I'm refiling this as an X bug, so it can get the proper attention.
