1 Select a track and press F2
2 Press ALT GR+a

Expected: á entered
Observed: nothing entered.

Note: ALT GR+SHIFT+a works as expected i.e. enters Á.

MM does not distinguish between ALT and ALT GR sometimes so if ALT+A has assigned Hotkey you try using ALT+LEFT CTRL+A?

It is distinguishing here - ALT+a just gives a beep.

> so if ALT+A has assigned Hotkey

ALT-A is not assigned - it does nothing and Help doesn't state and assignment.

> you try using ALT+LEFT CTRL+A?

That toggles the Album Art pane.

Chris, thank you.

It seems to be regression. I have fixed it in the past, but it seems to be there again,

"This affects perhaps only some keyboard layouts."

I have to say that seems unlikely to me (if anyone canNOT reproduce, please do say) but regardless, FTR my keyboard is "Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard".

Good luck!
