[Bug 673851] [NEW] altgr layer stops working randomly
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
The issue is reported by a few users in the ubuntu forums in the thread "Custom keyboard map is causing issue with stuck keys"
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10100583#post10100583). It seems that the AltGr layer can get stuck in either an "always-on" or "never-works" mode. I experience the latter problem, so for example, given the assignment
keycode 39 = o O Left
I would expect Mode_switch+o to result in Left, but instead it results
in o.
I've experienced the same results under Gnome and under Ratpoison in
Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10.
