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' Enable 'Keyboard Layouts' goto 'Advanced' tab open 'Key to choose 3rd level' Uncheck everything except 'Right Alt key never chooses third level'
There's some other interesting settings in there too - useful for customization nuts. I imagine the setting is similar in Gnome. Here's the command code too: setxkbmap -option lv3:ralt_alt -- right-alt key not working after changing "keyboard layout change" key to "both alt keys together" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
