VirtualKeyCode::Pause not recognized when Ctrl is held down, on Windows 8.1

[Boscop]

When I press Pause, it looks like this:

KeyboardInput { scancode: 69, state: Pressed, virtual_keycode: Some(Pause), modifiers: ModifiersState { shift: false, ctrl: false, alt: false, logo: false } }

When I press Ctrl, then Pause, then release Pause, then release Ctrl, it looks like this:

KeyboardInput { scancode: 29, state: Pressed,  virtual_keycode: Some(RControl), modifiers: ModifiersState { shift: false, ctrl: true, alt: false, logo: false } }
KeyboardInput { scancode: 70, state: Pressed,  virtual_keycode: None, modifiers: ModifiersState { shift: false, ctrl: true, alt: false, logo: false } }
KeyboardInput { scancode: 70, state: Released, virtual_keycode: None, modifiers: ModifiersState { shift: false, ctrl: true, alt: false,logo: false } }
KeyboardInput { scancode: 29, state: Released, virtual_keycode: Some(RControl), modifiers: ModifiersState { shift: false, ctrl: false, alt: false, logo: false } }

As you can see, when Ctrl is held down, Pause has a different scancode (70 instead of 69), so it doesn't recognize it as VirtualKeyCode::Pause, but it should.

Weird, I also get scancode 70 when I press Ctrl + Scroll.

Maybe fixed in winit by rust-windowing/winit#274

Didn't that one only affect linux code (not Windows 8.1)?

Yes, but you should still report this issue to winit instead.

Ok, here: rust-windowing/winit#524
