Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

In Proton (both 3.7-3 and 3.7-4 Beta) in Geometry Dash I can't use any special characters, e.g. ,.-#+ßöäü. This is not an issue with Geometry Dash itself, because it works fin on my PlayOnLinux installation on the same machine. I haven't tested it on other games yet.

Steps for reproducing this issue:
  1. Open Geometry Dash on Linux
  2. Go to Settings > Account > Log In
  3. Try to type anything but letters and ciphers
