Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
The "key to choose 3rd level" function does not work with all applications on my
Macbook Pro. I can create a "@" if I press the "Left Win + L" in gnome-terminal
but it does not work in firefox/
xev tells me:
-------
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0x77, subw 0x0, time 6157726, (-178,240), root:(455,614),
state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,

XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,

state 0xc0, keycode 46 (keysym 0x40, at), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (40) "@"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (40) "@"
XFilterEvent returns: False

That looks good ... everything ok ... but only for gnome-terminal.
Other Gnome applications do not recognize this combination.
My keyboard configuration:
