Whenever I try typing anything into any application, all I get is one character and then I cannot add any more or even delete it unless I exit out. When I load it back up the same thing happens. This problem also persists within the Wine configuration, I can only change one number in the window size box. I have tried the riched20 winetrick and I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it multiple times. Does anyone have any suggestions? I run on Ubuntu 8.10

I just re-installed it and tried notepad and I got the same thing. I have a standard U.S. qwerty keyboard, and I'm not sure how to check my terminal output for wine.

After cleaning my configuration it works perfectly, which is strange because I did not install anything other than itunes before I found out the typing issue. Thanks once again. -Brian
