There are no tests for this low-level functionality. Perhaps there is a
way to add some, but the main problem is that the behavior of the
libraries with all the different environments is hardly predictable.
Is there a way to simulate actual key presses? And know the expected
result with various keyboard layouts and other settings?
It also appears that problems are reported (long) after a change was
made. Before patch 8.2.4807 was included I asked if it looked OK. But
several problems were reported later.
I have no knowledge of "best practices" of this MS-Windows code. And it
seems various people only understand parts of it. I have no idea if
rolling back 8.2.4807 gives us a better starting point or it's better to
fixe any problems introduced by it.
