Title:
  xmodmap: right alt remapped to right control has issues with shift

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  I like to use xmodmap to remap the right alt key to control. What I
  find is that (starting in Ubuntu 10.04), pressing shift before I press
  the remapped right alt key causes the right alt key _not_ to activate
  with a modifier (it should be right control). Here's the sequence of
  key presses and the effects I see in xev:

  <shift pressed>: keycode 62, shift_r
  <with shift still held, right alt pressed>: keycode 108, no symbol

  If I don't press shift first, I see this:

  <right alt pressed>: keycode 108, control_r

  Below is the xmodmap file I'm using to remap my keys. I also remap
  caps lock to control, and that key has no problems with shift. I load
  this file up with 'cat my-xmodmap | xmodmap -'.

  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
  ! Map right alt to right control
  keycode 108 = Control_R

  ! Map caps lock to control
  keycode 66 = Control_L

  clear Lock
  clear mod1
  add control = Control_L Control_R
  add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R Meta_L

  As I mentioned, this worked fine in Ubuntu 9.10 and earlier.
