I do have AltGr (and Slovenian installed). The issue is that the author
of graphapp seems not to have had a 'right menu key' as MSDN call it.
This was fixed in R 0.9.1 and unfixed in R 2.0.0 by the author of the
script editor, who wrote in graphapp/events.c
/* Check for menu control keys. */
/* disabled : Alt-Gr bug*/ /* Re-enabled for the moment, CJ */
I do now have a proper fix.
