#158 Keyboard layout randomly screw up

[Albireo]

Often, but not always, when starting PrBoom plus the keyboard layout gets messed up, but only in PrBoom plus.

The usual key bindings stops working (e.g. if I press the \"3\" key the weapon is not switched to the shotgun), and if I try to remap them, they get junk characters assigned (e.g. key \"1\" shows up as an ampersand, key \"2\" as a double quote, key \"3\" as an apostrophe, key \"4\" as the letter C, and so on).

I do not know how to revert the keyboard layout to the correct one, but after a randoom time it gets back.

This problem appears in both PrBoom plus and the original PrBoom, but in no other application.

I am using OSX 10.6.3, PrBoom plus 2.5.0.6, a Doom 2 WAD (sorry but I don\'t know how to get the WAD\'s release number) and my system locale (and keyboard) are Italian.

Feel free to ask for more details or dumps.

Thanks in advance, Andrea.

I had it only once. Suddenly "size up" button stoped to work. In "Key Binds" menu it had proper value "=", but when I tried to rebind I got "Junk". Strange. Similar problem I had in hexen-plus. "Size Up" stopped to work and I was not able to shrink up my automap. So probably it is not prboom's issue. In any case, I need to reproduce for trying to fix, but I can't.

Is there anything I can do for you when this happens again?

I fixed similar issue with DOSbox by means of sdl_videodriver env variable lol, but it's specific to Windows.

set sdl_videodriver=windib
start d:\tools\dosbox\dosbox.exe -noconsole

Now I can use '-' and some others non-working keys in dosbox. Strange SDL issue.
