I ran an update but the problem persists.
My keyboard is Swedish and the language is English in Ubuntu 64bit 11.10
connecting to Windows7 Professional.

When I press (ignore the double quotes below)
"+" produces "`"
"?" produces "_"
"ö" produces "öo"
"-" produces "+"
"_" produces "?"

I hope this helps in fixing this bug. Since, this works for you, kindly let
me know if there is any setting that I need to tweak on Ubuntu or the
Windows machine.

Cheers
