No movement during levitation

None of the motion keys (W,A,D,S or arrow keys) have any effect while levitated. The ini file is plain vanilla. Do I need to change settings or is there something else wrong? AFAIK I am running the current version of Morroblivion.

To be clear, I am running under Linux/wine. Everything has worked perfectly up to this point. My character is level 12 all done in Vardenfeld. I didn't try levitation until doing a Tribunal Temple pilgrimage quest that automatically levitated him. He ended up stuck in the air about 5 feet off the ground. After that I tried rising potions and a levitate spell with the same result.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this problem.

I did a search of the forum regarding levitate and did not find any posts matching the condition I am having. I did see where the solution used to be to toggle the camera movement but then a mod fixed that and was later merged into the main .esm file.
