I see that to the special case that spacefish reported, Peke says 'Added to our Bug tracker' - I really hope that means there'll be a fix to the more general case too.

MM prevents the user entering á, é etc using the AltGr key because it has assigned* Ctrl+Alt-A, Ctrl+Alt+E etc, perhaps unaware that Ctrl+Alt is equivalent to AltGr (see article below).

This is a PITA. It would great for it to be fixed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key
it is recommended that Ctrl+Alt not be used as a modifier in Windows keyboard shortcuts as, depending on the keyboard layout and configuration, someone trying to type a special character with Ctrl+Alt may accidentally trigger the shortcut

** Note: not as a Hotkey:

Tracked at http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=6011 and since ALTGR+E seems a distinct failure case, at http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=6012
