Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
When you set an "Alternate Characters Key", only two of the available
options — "None" and "Right Alt" — are correctly reflected in the UI. If
you select some of the other options, the UI tells you that "None" is
selected. The xkb-options dconf value is correct, though.
As an example: If I pick Right Ctrl, xkb-options is correctly changed to
['lv3:ralt_alt', 'lv3:switch']. So it looks like it parses lv3:ralt_alt
instead of lv3:switch, and incorrectly concludes that the current value
is "None".
[ Test Plan ]
* Install gnome-control-center from jammy-proposed.
* Go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Alternate Characters Key
and pick some other option but "None" or "Right Alt".
* Make sure that the option you selected is correctly
reflected in the UI.
[ Where problems could occur ]
This is a targeted fix which only affects a specific control in
Settings. Considering the current broken state, I'd say that the risk is
minimal that the change would make it worse.
