Public bug reported:

In Precise with 4.60 version of bluez I can pair my keyboard and mouse
perfectly, but not with the 4.98 that is in Precise by default.

=== The problem is that dead keys of my keyboard (I mean -L or R- CTRL,
ALT, SUPER, -L or R- SHIFT, ALT-GR) doesn't work with my current
motherboard (whether application I opened, console included). It does
work correctly with other motherboards. The new motherboard is an 1150
Haswell one from Asus.

What I can say is :
1/ When booting, my BIOS recognize perfectly the dead keys of my keyboard, meaning that the bluetooth dongle or the motherboard is not directly concerned.
2/ When doing a second installation of Ubuntu, same problem.
3/ When trying the option 'keyboard layout' (whatever layout I choose), I don't see those dead keys flashing, meaning the system doesn't react at all when pressing them.
4/ By chance, I found another keyboard (same model, same brand), same problem, meaning the keyboard is not concerned (it works on the older motherboard, then it was poor chance that the keyboard broked just before reinstalling).
5/ Tried the setxkbmap command (with sudo or without), nothing's better
6/ Tried the xmodmap command, I see the 0x codes for Left SHIFT, all dead keys are there (see attachment)
7/ Normal keyboard (no wireless) works perfectly
8/ Put the dongle on an other usb slot doesn't change anything
9/ Command xev doesn't makes changes when pressing dead keys.
