The problem is, that the AltGr-combos don't work anymore on most
desktop applications. It does work on the gnome shell search and
xterm but it does not work anywhere else like firefox or the
gnome terminal.

Can you please create a test user, log in as that user, and let us
now if the issue is present with the test user as well.

Everything works as expected with a fresh user account.

So then we can conclude that something in $HOME causes it, Maybe there is too much to load from some ~/.cache/ directories. (Try to clean them up.)

Guess that's all I can say. Not easy to nail it down to a bug.

Thank you! That helped me to fix the problem. In the end:

dconf reset /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options

fixed the problem. It is strange this option seems to be affected by the keyboard settings in gnome settings, however i changed all options back and forth in the GUI so they should work, but it somehow didn't. Resetting the option above fixed it. Since I've never used dconf before, I guess there is a bug somewhere that lead to this situation.


Cheers,

Bastian
