Strange keyboard behaviour in WoW

Hello Guys,

Like many, I would like to switch completely to Linux, and be able to play WoW.
The problem I'm encountering is that one of the keys I use the most e.g. [§] is behaving stangely : I can use it perfectly in chat section, but it doesn't do anything outside it, so that I am unable to get it cast anything.

I use a very standard swiss keyboard, "standardly connected" (i.e. no USB).

My xorg.conf is :

Code: Select all

...

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Generic Keyboard"
	Driver		"kbd"
	Option		"CoreKeyboard"
	Option		"XkbRules"	"xorg"
	Option		"XkbModel"	"pc105"
	Option		"XkbLayout"	"ch"
	Option		"XkbVariant"	"fr"
EndSection

...

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Default Layout"
  screen "Default Screen"
	Inputdevice	"Generic Keyboard"
	Inputdevice	"Logitech G3"
EndSection

Is there anything I can do to get it work properly ?

Use en_US keyboard layout.

Use en_US keyboard layout.

So I must use a keyboard config that does not fit what is written on my actual keyboard ? It would be very sad indeed.

You could file a bug at http://bugs.winehq.org
Does the problem also show up in e.g. notepad?

and use the en_US keyboard layout while you wait for it to be fixed.
