           Summary: Different results for shift-altgr and altgr-shift.
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2

If I'm trying to type a shift-altgr character (for example shift-altgr-4 give 
¼) then I get different results depending on the order I press shift and altgr. 
 
Altgr then shift seems to give the expected results. Shift-altgr on the other 
hand does weird things. You have to press the third key twice to get any 
characters, and then if you keep shift and altgr down and press it a third time 
you get a different character. For example pressing shift-altgr-9 4 times 
gives: '[((' The first time does nothing. altgr-shift-9 gives: '±'. 
 
This surely isn't right is it? The keymap only lists 4 symbols: 
 
    key <AE09> { [         9,  parenleft, bracketright,    plusminus ] }; 
 
I assume this is   [ no modifiers, shift, altgr, shift-altgr ]. 
 
The first three work, and shift-altgr does the right thing but I would assume 
altgr-shift should do the same thing.
