Description foormea 2019-03-18 22:15:27 UTC 
When I add French layout to KDE Plasma in
   System Settings
      Input Devices
         Keyboard Hardware and Layout
my shortcuts alt-2 and alt-7 get broken (e.g. they don't respond in firefox), while all other alt- shortcuts continue working just fine.

If I re-assign alt-2 and alt-7 to whatever random global shortcut and immediately unassign, alt-2 and alt-7 restart working.
If I then put the computer to sleep, then get out of sleep mode, the shortcuts are broken again.

Some xev output:

For alt-1 (which works just fine):

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. This is Kubuntu 19.04 up-to-date (2019-03-18) after narrowing down the problem to kxdb.
2. System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard Hardware and Layout > Layouts > Configure layouts ; first is US qwerty, second if standard FR azerty.
3. As soon as I press "Apply" if FR azerty is present (I've tried a few variations for FR and got the same result), the problem appears.

OBSERVED RESULT
alt-2 and alt-7 specifically get broken in firefox

EXPECTED RESULT
no alt- shortcut gets broken

Comment 2 9mwebmail 2020-08-20 21:58:35 UTC 
Hi all, I'm new to posting bugs but just to mention that I get a similar bug with French layout, breaking alt-2 in Firefox and Thnuderbird, but not breaking alt-7 in Firefox for me.
I hope this can get fixed. Thanks all for your work.
Comment 3 user75319 2021-01-29 19:41:08 UTC 
Reproducing it too. For keys : ALT+2 (or ALT+é), ALT+7 (or ALT+è)
But also for Super+A Super+S (Super = windows key)
Overall, open the preview when selecting layout and test combinaisons. Somes doesn't hightlight the second key
