Now that you have a workaround, you probably want to find out what
causes this in the first place and the way to correct it in your
particular context. My guess is that there is a mismatch between your
keyboard map and your expectations - where you want the key marked "Alt"
on the right of your keyboard to be "Alt" and not "AltGr".

Please trim your replies to the list.. no sense posting back 100+ lines
