it is a user problem, if there is user action. So far there is no user action.
I only set "ca" input in ibus, and that does not work as expected.

I enclose 2 print-screens.

1. read color: AltGR key and correspondent keys not mapped on my keyboard(s)
with ibus set to "ca" input
2. blue color: AltGR key and correspondent keys mapped on my keyboard(s) when I
use setxkbmap command "ca".

There must be an explanation. when I set "ca" with setxkbmap, my "Alt" key
(japanese notebook keyboard layout & usb Japanese keyboard layout) is correctly
mapped. It is not when I set "ca" in ibus.

I know. So there is a problem if the exact similar issue occur on the 2
notebooks I have, both with vanilla (default) settings.

okay

[mt at nh28d LXDE]$ /usr/libexec/ibus-xkb --get
layout: jp,ca
model: 
option:
grp:switch,grp:rctrl_rshift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,grp:switch,grp:rctrl_rshift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,grp:switch,grp:rctrl_rshift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,grp:switch,grp:rctrl_rshift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

Okay

Now, do you see something in the commands outputs above I don't see? Because,
when I pass the command:

[mt at nh28d LXDE]$ /usr/libexec/ibus-xkb -l ca

the AltGR key is correctly mapped!!! (same as in the print-screen 2 in blue
color).

I can type all the AltGR+mapped keys (in the open terminal window only. If
another window gains focus, the settings "jp".)

When I pass the command:

/usr/libexec/ibus-xkb -l ca -o
grp:switch,grp:rctrl_rshift_toggle,grp_led:scroll

The Alt does not give any output (same as in the print-screen 1 in red color)
