I don't think it's related to JSGME. I have the exact same problem he is describing. Since all of your versions, TDW.
I have following gut feeling since a long time:
1) incorrect german menu.txt by Paco
2) some problem with keyboard (azerty as I run a french system, think you guys are on qwertzy, so are the Germans -- but not the french
3) conflict with system language or with 2) and 3) mixed
Anyway...never got it working. I am close to trying reapers, just to see if it works there.
