AltGr on German keyboard layout does not work with Chrome version 86.0.4240.75 (however Chrome 85 works)
See original GitHub issueSince the Chrome update to version 86, I cannot type | (which is AltGr + < on German layout) or ~ (AltGr + +) anymore. Instead of | the char < appears, instead of ~ the char + appears.
On a second laptop, I still have Chrome 85.x.x.x with Arch Linux and German keyboard layout and there everything works fine. Thus, I suspect it has something to do with the Chrome update. However, I cannot exclude with certainty that another update on my system has caused this.
I noticed it inside Gitpod which uses xterm.js in Theia. However, it also happens with the demo at https://xtermjs.org/.
Details
- Browser and browser version: Chrome Version 86.0.4240.75 (Official Build) (64-bit)
- OS version: latest Arch Linux
- xterm.js version: 4.9.0
Steps to reproduce
- Open the demo at https://xtermjs.org/ with Chrome 86.0.4240.75
- Type
AltGr + < |should appear but<appears. With Chrome 85 everything works fine.

@mofux Good find. Yes it looks they reverted some earlier attempt to get rid of xlib deps: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/4fb89e020e3e3b1504fca92dbc8ab807202f7e9c^!/#F0.
I can confirm that with Chrome version 86.0.4240.111 it works again. Thanks! I’ll close this issue.
