Folder creation naming is canceled when name contains underscore with french bepo keyboard layout

[Nico T]

Step to reproduce :
- select the french bepo keyboard in the list of layouts
- open nautilus and create a folder
- when it asks a name for the folder, try to give a name containing an underscore (AltGr+space on the bépo layout)
- as soon as you press the AltGr key the focus is lost and the name of the folder stays «Untitled Folder»

Remarks :
- I am using a qwerty keyboard with the french bépo layout
- There is no problem for entering underscore when I am renaming the previously created «Untitled Folder»

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME.

do you use alt-gr as a special key (to change layout, compose, etc)?

[Nico T (nlko)]

I think this key is not binded to anything but just to make sure I launched the keyboard tool.

It seems binded to nothing but in english layout, pressing the key open the «command menu» (such as the left alt key does). But in bépo layout, it does nothing.

So, in the tab «shortcut» I tryed to temporary set the AltGr key to some unused shortcut functionality :

- When the qwerty layout is selected the key is recognize as a "Alt R" key;
- When the bépo layout is selected the key is recognize as a "Level 3 shift" key.

Please see the uploaded screenshot

I don't know what is this kind of key "Level 3 shift".

Bépo layout is the equivalent of the dvorak layout (but applied to french).
On a bépo keyboard layout, this AltGr key is useful for dealing with foreign language and input char like ñ ã ú ś ¿ ¡ ù ï © ß ...

Remark, whenever I try to bind this "Level 3 shift" to a shortcut, the shortcut never works when the key is pressed.

Additional remark : it only happens in list mode. In icon mode it works fine.
