Probably recent, there was a AltGr handling update recently.

Which keyboard layout are you using?

Doing some testing

keyboard layout=UK
AltGr does nothing

keyboard layout=US
Right-Alt, you have to release Right-Alt and then press the Alt menu item you want, similar to using F4 to toggle to the Alt menu.


For both keyboard layouts
Left-Alt needs to be kept down to use the Alt menu, as expected.
