Summary

03776: Various PC-based drivers: MESS Scroll Lock keyboard toggle has snuck in somehow

Description

Various PC-based drivers are not responding to UI keys like Tab or Esc until you press Scroll Lock to toggle the keyboard. This is a feature from MESS that has somehow become activated for these MAME drivers, I guess because of the shared code like pckeybrd.c.

Steps To Reproduce

Run one of the following sets (not exhaustive):

pf2012
bonanza
calchase
streetg

Press Tab, Esc, F11, etc. - nothing happens.
Press Scroll Lock - the MESS keyboard toggle message is shown and you can now use the UI keys.

Additional Information

It's not 100% of the PC drivers, for example at least filetto, tetriskr, and queen are unaffected.
