What were you trying to do?
Switch between the French and English (standard) keyboard
layouts on both Linux and Sun boxes.
What's wrong:
When I switch from English to French, the Alternate key stops
working. Whenever I press it, the focus appears to be removed
from the current window until I let go of the key. Even if I
switch back to English, the key is never restored.
What should have happened:
I should always be able to use the Alternate key, in any language.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I check the OLC stock answers and found nothing.
