Public bug reported:

Note: I'm currently running in Parallels. This could be an artifact of
virtualisation, but I don't actually believe it is.

On a German Keyboard, alternative keys (such as @, €) are accessed via 
ALT+letter (e.g. ALT-L, ALT-E correspondingly).
In Ubuntu, these keys are instead accessed with ALT-GR+letter (i.e. the right 
ALT key, not the left one).

This bug might be a result of Ubuntu using the ALT key as a menu key (i.e. 
ALT-E opens edit menu).
If this is the case, I ask you to consider remapping the menu key to CMD. (i.e. 
ALT-E -> €, CMD-E Edit menu).

In case this bug doesn't get resolved, please followup with a solution I
can apply myself.

** Affects: Ubuntu
