[Bug 1484157] Re: AltGr key acts like "Select All"
I have the problem too, in Thunderbird on Ubuntu 18.04 with Unity on one system, another one works fine. Interestingly, it only seems to affect the address field when writing a new mail. With our German keyboard, we need AltGr+Q to enter '@'. Other text fields are not affected. I've tried the workarounds mentioned here, but that did not help.

Addendum to comment #16: Switching the "keyboard input method system" to either "XIM" or "none" does NOT help on my system. Moving the focus between several input fields sometimes restores the correct behaviour and suddenly changes back to the faulty one, usually when pressing Alt Gr after typing some characters. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1484157 Title: AltGr key acts like "Select All" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1484157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello, As said on the ubuntu-fr forum, you could avoid the bug by going in system option ▸ languages ▸ Input keyboard system and selecting an option other than IBus.

One more data point: I've not seen this bug until recently and I've been running the same application on Ubuntu 16.04 for a few years now.

This bug also appears in Firefox forms on Ubuntu 16.04:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1416046
The AltGr key is used for entering frequently-used characters in some
common keyboard layouts. (For example, any of \|[]{}@ is entered via
AltGr in the default German keyboard layout.) Because pressing the
AltGr key selects the entire input field, if you continue typing, all
the text entered so far will be lost. This makes the bug pretty
critical IMHO.

[Bug 1484157] Re: AltGr key acts like "Select All"
I have same issue since a year or so. This is really annoying, as right ALT on my keyboard is used to enter national characters - so it is used heavily. In *some* places you loose what you just typed making it impossible to work. I noticed it is really hard to tell where issue will appear; right now I have multiple tabs in Firefox 59.0.2 (64-bit) open. This "add comment" text area works fine. I have another webpage open in same firefox, where this occurs. I also confirm this behaviour in libre office writer's search textbox (4.2.8.2 Build ID: 420m0 Build:2). marcin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1484157 Title: AltGr key acts like "Select All" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1484157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just like Michael, I have this problem too on Ubuntu 16.04 64bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad E560, particularly in Firefox Quantum 58.0.2, on some form text inputs.

[Bug 1484157] Re: AltGr key acts like "Select All"
I also have this problem on Ubuntu 16.04, 64bit. The strange thing about this bug is that the Right Alt doesn't always select all text: it does with Ctrl+F in LibreOffice and on some web pages in Firefox, but most of the time it works fine... My GUI language is Czech but I can reproduce it with any keyboard. What's even more bothering, the left Alt is broken too: when I'm in the LibreOffice search and press the left Alt, it selects all text and then opens the HUD. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1484157 Title: AltGr key acts like "Select All" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1484157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
