Steam Games on Wine Crash When Keyboard Input is Detected

[GarrettR]

Hello guys. I have a bit of a problem. I recently installed Steam through Wine on Debian 7.8 and for some reason, any time I play a game, the mouse works fine, but keyboard in put will freeze the game. For example, when I tried to play GMod, the WASD input would freeze the game. Same for Q, SHIFT, SPACE, or any key I pressed. Could you tell me what is wrong and how to fix it? Thanks

Disable in-game overlay. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35361

Thank you, that worked.

FYI this bug appears to be fixed as of wine 1.7.38. I've tested the patchset (whilst it was in staging) and the Steam Overlay appears to work fine just now...
