RStudio IDE rstudio-1.2.1335 and alt-gr

Hi,

I have an issue with the RStudio IDE 1.2.1335 with XRDP.
When I start the the RStudio IDE and try to write character with alt-gr (for example character $) then the cursor automatically jumps back one character. This issue happens in both console and editor. This issue also occurs with the latest preview version 1.2.1541.

If I downgrade back to version rstudio-1.1.463 this does not happen. Does anyone else has this issue?

Specs:
CentOS 7
Gnome Classic desktop
XRDP 0.9.10-1 with xorgxrdp

Best regards,
Juha

Since I updated RStudio to 1.2.1330, I have a strange issue: Pressing "alt gr…" jumps one character back, that makes working on a German keyboard really hard as I need this key to type [, \ and the like. An example, when I wrote `tmp` and want to add `[` I actually get `tm[p` instead of `tmp[` - this does only happen with RStudio, other programs are not affected. ``` > sessioninfo::session_info() ─ Session info ────────────────────────────────────────────────── setting value version R version 3.4.4 (2018-03-15) os Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS system x86_64, linux-gnu ui RStudio language en_US:en collate en_US.UTF-8 ctype en_US.UTF-8 tz Europe/Berlin date 2019-04-05 ``` English local with German keyboard ``` $ setxkbmap -query rules: base model: pc104 layout: de ``` Pressing "alt gr" ``` $ xinput test 7 key press 113 key release 113 ```
