[Bug 1193360] Re: Can't type diacritics with AltGr+letter in Dash or HUD

 

I realised a bug on 13.10 with the Czech (qwerty) keyboard.  In Text Entry Settings I have the English (US) and the Czech (qwerty) Input Sources. 
Switch to next source using: Shift+Alt_L
Switch to prev. source using: Shift+Alt+Control_L
In the Keyboard/Shortcuts/Typing I choose Caps_Lock for Compose Key and Right_Alt for Alternative Characters Key.

When the Czech keyboard is selected, then AltGr works well, e.g. on the '8' key there is the 'a' with acute (á), with the Shift key there is the number '8' and with the AltGr key I get the star (*). But when the English keyboard is selected I get '8', star with Shift and ALSO the '8' with the AltGr key.
In previous Ubuntu releases I got accute 'a' (á) on the English keyboard on the key '8' with the AltGr key when "Press Right Alt key to choose 3rd level" was checked in options.

How to please achieve described behaviour in 13.10?

Bug description:
  In the default polish keyboard layout, diacritics are written using
  AltGr (right Alt) + letter, i.e. AltGr+l gives ł. This is now broken
  in unity, Compose key still works, though.

  To test, english layout has ł under AltGr+w.
