    Description

      I can replicate this issue using the tester:
      https://guacamole.apache.org/pub/tests/guac/keyboard-test.html

      Input method: English (UK) with Italian keyboard.
      Tested both on external USB keyboard and built-in laptop (Lenove ThinkPad) keyboard.

      Browser: Version 118.0.5993.118 (Official Build) (64-bit)
      OS: WIndows 10 Enterprise

      If I press AltGr once I get:

      guacamole	keydown	0xffe3	Left control
      guacamole	keyup	0xffe3	Left control
      guacamole	keydown	0xfe03	AltGr
      guacamole	keyup	0xfe03	AltGr
      

      If I keep it pressed and then released it is even weirder because I get

      guacamole	keydown	0xffe3	Left control
      guacamole	keyup	0xffe3	Left control
      guacamole	keydown	0xfe03	AltGr
      guacamole	keydown	0xffe3	Left control
      guacamole	keyup	0xffe3	Left control
      guacamole	keyup	0xfe03	AltGr
      

      This interferes (on a Ubuntu remote server) with using AltGr as the Alternate characters key, it just does not work. The workaround that I am using at the moment is that I have changed the "Alternate Characters key" in the keyboard settings on the server to the "Menu key".
