Yes

Area(s) with issue?

General

Steps to reproduce

Fresh install, run as admin, only changed shortcut for Paste as a plain text to Ctrl+Shift+V. I am using polish (programmer) keyboard input layout and diacritic marks are visible, e.g. when pressing AltGr in Windows On-Screen Keyboard, but not all of them render any input, while pressed both in OSK and on physical keyboard. This was reproduced on two separate machines,

✔️ Expected Behavior

All diacritic marks are properly input with AltGr key pressed. e.g. ą ć ż ź ć ś € ó ł ń

❌ Actual Behavior

Only some of diacritic marks are working input with AltGr key pressed, while PowerToys are in use.

I have a moment to dig and it looks like enabling Mouse Without Borders causes this bug to keep happening

This issue also breaks AltGr+E that should yield € on a French keyboard.

Disabling both Keyboard Manager and Mouse Without Borders allows the shortcut to work.

My very first quick test of 0.73 with Keyboard Manager and Mouse Without Borders both enabled seem to indicate the AltGr+E problem is no longer there... yet this issue is not marked as closed....

Thanks for commenting however after update to 0.73 issue is still present on my side. AltGr+L results in logout instead of ł

Problem's back, so I had to disable Mouse Without Borders...

Issue still present with 0.76.2

This issue is present on 0.83.0 (with Mouse Without Borders disabled).

As long as Keyboard manager is enabled, I cannot use Polish diactric marks.
