Description Michel Arboi 2005-01-31 15:51:10 UTC
See thread on the forum. I have the same problem with x11-xorg: AltGr kills incremental searches or macro definitions. However, in normal entry mode, it works fine (but it prints "iso-level3-shift not defined" on the status bar)
Recompiling Xemacs does not fix the problem. Upgrading x11-xorg to the latest available (~x86) version does not cwork either.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Xemacs
2.Start an incremental search with ^S
3.Type a character that needs AltGr (e.g. a square bracket on the French keyboard)



Actual Results:  
The search is aborted with "iso-level3-shift not defined"
AltGr also abort macro definitions.

It seems that Xorg needs a simple patch

Emacs guys, there's a patch for your end too if you're interested. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2004-10/msg00150.html -- linked from the RH bug.

Looks like it's resolved in the original, bug #66508.
