Public bug reported:

My Unicomp has a right windows key and alt key in swapped positions, so
I configured right windows key to act as a second Alt_R (well
ISO_Level3_Shift), using gnome-tweaks, leading to:

/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
  ['caps:none', 'lv3:rwin_switch']

Opening the keyboard page in gnome settings resets this to

/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
  ['caps:none', 'lv3:ralt_alt', 'lv3:rwin_switch']

Effectively disabling the Alt Gr (right alt key) from acting as level 3
shift.

Enabling right alt explicitly is not better. That sets

/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
  ['caps:none', 'lv3:ralt_switch', 'lv3:rwin_switch']

and opening the keyboard panel then just deletes the windows key switch:


/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
  ['caps:none', 'lv3:ralt_switch']

Not sure if it's a regression, but it's problematic anyway.
