Using Meta button of keyboard for gamepad button works erroneously

If you try to use the Meta key for any gamepad button, then the following happens. At detecting, it prints some garbage characters:

Though it works and you can use it without problems. When you quit, in ~/.config/puNES/input.cfg the variable P1K TurboB contains ៀ? (0xe19f803f in hexa).
After restart, the Meta button no longer works. If you now open the config panel again, then it shows an empty field there:

After quit, in input.cfg, P1K TurboB contains nothing.
After the second restart, it shows that the button is configured for the Q button:

And at quit, P1K TurboB is indeed set to Q in input.cfg.
If you try to edit input.cfg and set P1K TurboB to Meta, then it keeps the value correctly, but the button is not working in the emulator.
I can't reproduce the problem on any Linux system I have available. What version of Qt does your distribution use? I remember that this problem was due to a QT bug which was later fixed although I don't remember in which version.
It is 5.15.2.
Yes, it works perfectly. Now it detects Meta as Meta and stores it as that and can reload it. (Although it makes no distinction between the left and right Meta, but i can live with that.) Thanks.
When will v0.111 be released?
I need to complete some other tasks first. I can't tell you when I'll release a new version, I don't know yet.
