Any character requiring Alt Gt not being inserted correctly on German keyboard layout #487

Closed

Description

  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.86]

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

When the tab is running a wsl (Debian or Ubuntu) task any character requiring Alt Gr on the German Keyboard layout (~, @, |, etc.) don't get printed at all, besides \ which gets printed as <ffffffff>

When the tab is running cmd.exe or powershell.exe the regular value of the key is returned as if Alt Gr wasn't pressed at all.

    Same with Swedish keyboard layout, but I can't get the \ either.

    This looks like a dupe of #521 to me.

    it's not only on German Layout, in Spanish layout i can' use.
    I see something curious, if y press AltGr + plus one number, and them (without pres AltGR) another number. The last number appears X times
