Non-US keyboard layout issues (Windows 7 SDL 1.2)

[malignantmanor]

There is a bug report on the forum posted by kristo saying that the engine is using the US layout for keys instead of the German layout his keyboard uses. The "y" and "z" key are switched. This applies to casting spells by letter. I haven't gotten a reply about whether it affects npc conversations.

This was working for him in a 16, July 2014 build from Kirben in Windows 7. This bug is occurring in the current snapshot which also uses SDL 1.2.15. I couldn't see where the code changed that could have affected this. SDL 2 worked for him..

Really odd. The OS X version works fine, the Windows snapshot works fine via Wine but in my VM with Windows 7 the keyboard behaves wrong... Very very strange...

As I have nothing set up to compile for Windows I can't tell for sure, but c35af1d looks like it could be the problem or hint to the problem...

This worked some while ago with an SDL 1.2 build. But I'm back with the same error now.
Keys are switched. I thought this has aleady been fixed?

Has this already been fixed in the latest builds?

[malignantmanor]

I don't think it has. I'll try to contact Eric about fixing it.
