[Bug 1513729] [NEW] Can't rename files correctly in Nautilus using alt-gr for special keys

 

Public bug reported:

I have the Swedish keyboard installed and I cannot use any of these
symbols when renaming files in Nautilus @£$€{[]}. To create the symbols
I am required to push the Alt-gr button but since the last few Ubuntu
releases pressing Alt-gr behaves like a cancel button and returns
renaming prompt back to non-edit mode.  Has been like this for a long
time now.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
