There are several help requests such as yours and mine, around the web, but none of them prompted the developers to solve the problem. The cause is, in my opinion, lack of mutual understanding between those, such as us, who daily use an extended keyboard layout (and so take the importance of this problem for granted), and those who are not familiar with third level keys (and so see this as a very marginal or unimportant problem). This is why it’s so important not to lose one’s temper: the issue is not as evident to everybody as it seems.
We need to get through and prove the importance of this issue, as its solution would greatly improve usability for European users (as well as anybody using an extended keyboard layout). This can only be achieved through good manners. As the Latin saying goes: “Suaviter in modō, fortiter in rē”, that is “Gentle in manner, resolute in matter".
