Hello all,
This works fine, except that I often loose the function of the "Alt Gr" key
(for those who only know the US keyboard, Alt Gr is necessary to access a
bunch of characters we use in non-English languages.
This is independent from distribution (I had hoped that switching to Jessie
and 14.0.2 would help, but not).
What I don't know is what is causing the problem. The rest of the keyboard
layout continues to work, only Alt Gr is gone. So far only loging out and
in cures the problem.
Anyone has a clue to what causes this?
Same problem here. It seems to be new, I'm on R14.0.2 (on Mint). I haven't
observed this before.
I searched for a work around without necessity to log out (to many open windows to
restall) and I
found one. I opened the Keyboard Layout dialog and un-checked the Enable Keyboard
Layouts"
(switched it off" and voila, the Alt-Gr reapears again.
Now a solution but better than nothing.
