It will be fixed after @Edward, myself, or someone else can reliably reproduce the problem. It happened to me last year - I'm sure it was the exact same problem since the weird symbols were the same - but for the CTRL key instead. That went away so I thought that it had been fixed. I know that it was not purely a Qt problem because I wrote a little pyqt test program - not running in Leo - and did not get the bad symbols.
I sympathize because the program is totally unusable this way, but we've got to find something different about your machine/installation. I don't recall your history with this now, but are you able to install it without pip and try that? The best way would be to clone the git repo and run that. In the worst case, you could also either install a different version of Python, or at least create a new virtual environment to get a clean an install as possible. If I were doing this, I would pip-install some earlier version of Leo (like 6.3, maybe?) so as to get the dependencies installed. Then I would run the git-repo clone version. If you don't know what any of this means, someone here can walk you through it, I'm sure. I can tell you that I'd feel crippled if I couldn't use Leo any more, so I have some idea how you feel!
