Bug#276143: altwin:meta_win breaks 3rd level modifier (AltGr)
Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 0
Severity: normal
I am referring the bug 275973 and declaring new one because I don't know how
to reopen bug reports. Xkb option "altwin:meta_win" breaks AltGr (right alt)
default functionality on my (finnish) keyboard.
$ setxkbmap -option -option altwin:meta_win
...causes maps both win keys to work as meta, but (suprisingly) AltGr no
longer work as 3rd level modifier.
$ setxkbmap -option
...clears the options and restores AltGr functionality.
$ setxkbmap -option -option altwin:left_meta_win
...maps meta into left win key and does not break AltGr functionality, and can
be used as a workaround.
My keyboard settings (in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4)
