That was done [1] for other mishandling of the <AltGr> and bug 97908 reversing
work on bug 95761--it was only temporarily functional. Not really a regression,
setting back to inherited from OOo.

@Thurston, Jurgen any thoughts on how to handle more involved IME for CTL
scripts that using <AtltGR> key entry more so than typical dead key handling
for Western European languages? Than those that initially had gummed this up? 

The seealso linked OOo era mishandling of Unicode SMP highorder surrogate pairs
  suggest the IME is not well handled. Though our <Alt>+X and Special Character
Dialog have no issues with the Unicode conversions or font selection for
getting them onto VCL canvas.
