[Needs xkb protocol rework] keyboard layout switching shortcuts like Alt+Alt
do not work anymore
--
right-alt key not working after changing
there are many bugs about a not working right alt key. and there are
many bugs about a not working shortcut to change keyboard layout (left
alt + right alt). as far as i can tell fixing the right alt key would
also fix the keyboard layout problem.
could someone with more knowledge than me in the
Still broken in 9.10.
Possibly related, I actually can't turn off Both Alt keys together, it
just comes back after closing the layout options. I can enable and
disable other change layout items normally.
Also, selecting a key to choose 3rd level item restores the right alt.

right-alt key
Correction: selecting right windows key for key to choose 3rd level
causes the right alt-key to show up in shortcuts and the like as super
instead of alt.

It's a setting in the keyboard layout. The issue is that the right alt is being
mapped for 3rd level characters despite the fact that there are no 3rd level
keys in the US. I still think it's a bug, but here's the fix for KDE:
goto System Settings Regional Lang Keyboard Layout
Under 'Layouts'
Sorry, the fix does not work for me!
I'm under GNOME by the way... but the procedure is the same.
Does not work with French nor German nor US keyboard.
Thanks for the answer anyway!

Same problem with a fresh Karmic Koala installation: right Alt key has no
effect.
VERY annoying as I'm typing French and German and I need special characters.
I once tried to set the keyboard layout change key to both alt keys
together - but I don't know exactly if that's what triggered the bug

I've been having the exact same issue. This wasn't because of an
upgrade, it happened in a fresh installation of Karmic.
