Title:
  AltGr key acts like "Select All"

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The bug I noticed only in one application – LibreOffice, but I suspect Unity because using other desktop environments (including Openbox, Gnome and Gnome classic) there is no bug.
  It's imposible to insert symbols from third keyboard level using combinations with AltGr key (I'm using Lithuanian standard layout).

  Reproduction steps:
  Open desired LibreOffice document,
  hit Ctrl+F or Ctrl+H ("Search" or "Search and Replace"),
  Type some chars,
  Press AltGr (right Alt) key.

  Result:
  the text in the field is selected. Entering next char removes all previously entered characters.

  Sometimes the bug appears not right after user login but 1 or few minutes later.
  Tested with >10 PCs.

  LibreOffice – tested with several versions
  unity 7.2.5
  Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
