Dear Maintainers,

The problem is very simple... I can't input a '7' from the main menu.
So, for instance, if I want to join a custom server, I can't if it has
this digit in the IP address.
I was told on the IRC it is a known problem with irrlicht, and several
people are experiencing something similar with non-english keyboard layouts.

I was given this partial fix on #minetest :

In irlicht 1.8.1 change in
irrlicht-1.8.1/source/Irrlicht/CIrrDeviceLinux.cpp line
"event.xkey.state = 0;" for "event.xkey.state &=
~(ControlMask|ShiftMask);" without quotes and recompile your irrlicht

Hope a fix can be brought in soon,

Regards,

thanks, control (which is bcc'ed).

Hello,

this is obviously a bug in irrlicht, not minetest, so reassigning.
Many thanks for the high quality bug report, with the fix included. I
wish I always get such reports ;)

Bye, Mt.

Hi,

Do you know if this bug has been reported to upstream irrlicht (i.e.
do you have an upstream commit or bug report to refer to)? If not,
please report it upstream and let us know the url of your bug report.

(Martin, feel free to go ahead and make a team upload to fix this.)

Regards,
Vincent

Maybe I should have been more precise, the patch I gave seems to only
make it possible to use the numpad to enter digits. It's a workaround,
not a fix.
I am not competent to tell if it still is a good idea to apply it.

I won't be able to help, I fear. I'm drawning in my day work...

Sorry, Mt.

Hi,

I took over the maintenance of irrlicht in Debian, so I'm going through
the old bug reports to see if there's something I can do.

I can easily type digits in minetest main page (for the server port),
so I think the problem has been fixed long ago.

Please don't hesitate to report again if you find something strange ;
hopefully you'll get a faster answer!

Thanks for your input,

Hello,

Unfortunately, this problem is still there.

I still can't input a 7 from the server tab. I suppose it's keyboard
layout or env related. I

When running minetest from console and hitting the 7 key, the output is:

   Could not find EKEY_CODE, using orig. X11 keycode instead: 16

Thanks,
