Mayhaps all my issues are due to my (sadly) having a french keyboard (all those little signs are creepy éèçö ... yuk!), but until we know this for sure, I'll keep announcing the bugs one by one, so here goes:

I can't enter the timing for a speech with the numpad, only with the numerals above the letters.

Update: still, I seem to remember we use the numpad for .. err... playing the game. So SDL and DROD hypothetically COULD work together to permit numpad input, right?

I noticed that as well for the 'wait for x moves' option.

Mmm...this seems to be a bug in SDL, the third-party graphics and event-handling library we use. It doesn't register the numeric keypad keys as Unicode characters

Works fine here (Linux). Make sure Num Lock is on... If it is and it still doesn't work, I'd say this is a bug in SDL, in which case we should either report it or fix it and submit a patch.

I made sure numlock was on, and it still doesn't work.
Could anyone with a qwerty keyboard and winXP tell us if the same phenomenon is observed? Perhaps it's my azerty keyboard's fault?

No, I immediately tried numlock on/off when I noticed it wasn't working, and I'm on normal XP with a QWERTY keyboard.

Yes, I've run our JtRH code in debug mode using my standard Qwerty keyboard -- with Numlock either on or off, all of the keys on the numeric keypad return a Unicode value of 0 in the SDL_KeyboardEvent. Let's report it to Sam.

I feel pretty proud; every time I thought I had discovered a bug in Php, and I wisely refrained from publicating in the tracker, because it seemed weird a dork as me would find a bug in such a widely used program, I chose restraint wisely

Well, eat this SDL! You make up for Php's lack of bugs.
