Bug#764981: minetest: can't input a '7' from main menu

[cacatoès]

Package: minetest
Version: 0.4.10+repack-1
Severity: normal

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,
