New issue 13922 by bryan...@chromium.org: Right Alt key not functional
using UK keyboard input
http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=13922

Chrome OS Version : 0.11.257.44
Chrome Version : 11.0.696.27
Type of computer : Cr-48

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select UK keyboard input
2. Use key combinations that utilize the right alt key

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect these key combinations to work. Instead, nothing is registered
when the right alt key is utilized, but left alt key works fine.

Tried a few keyboard input options, and this problem only occurs with UK.

RightAlt + left or right arrow. The expected behavior is page forward or
backward. Instead, Cros acts like I'm not pressing down the Alt button, and
my presses result in cursor movements (as if I'm only pressing the left and
right arrow).

I think the current behavior is the expected one.

When the UK layboard layout is selected, RightAlt does not behave like
LeftAlt because the key is a special one ("AltGr") which allows users to
input accented characters. Please try RightAlt+a with the UK layout.
