[X11] Missing key release event

[ghost]

So, our engine uses winit for windowing, and have encoutared this issues: FyroxEngine/Fyrox#108

What can cause this issue? A bug in winit or bug in the engine? The issue have some information too, look at the disscussion in the issue.

From the issue you linked, it seems like the problem you're having looks like it's caused by a missing key release event, and I've changed the issue title to reflect that.

I'm going to need some more info in order to get a proper understanding of exactly what's going wrong, though.

• Are you using WindowEvent or are you using DeviceEvent?
• Does the issue only occur with a single key (e.g. only A or B), or are multiple keys affected?
• What does resizing the window have to do with your issue?
• Can you reproduce it with Winit only?
• Can you reproduce it with my new-keyboard-linux ( New keyboard API for Linux #1932) branch?

• We use WindowEvent. It seems that there was some issue with inputting which made us switch from DeviceEvent to WindowEvent.
• no, it isn't tied to these keys
• there's no issues if the window hasn't been resized. Windows with original size don't have any issues.

@maroider what is the replacement for VirtualKeyCode in the new version?

[maroider]

Its closest analogue is the Key enum, but it's not quite the same (and for good reason).

[ghost]

Well, we use VirtualKeyCode Event, so will Key enum easy replace it?

@maroider what example I should choose for trying to reproducing this bug in winit only?

[maroider]

Ideally, you'd make your own minimal, reproducible example based off of the keyboard handling code in rg3d.
