The AltGr key is used for entering frequently-used characters in some common keyboard layouts. (For example, any of \|[]{}@ is entered via AltGr in the default German keyboard layout.) Because pressing the AltGr key selects the entire input field, if you continue typing, all the text entered so far will be lost. This makes the bug pretty critical IMHO.
