Why does the right Alt key no longer work in 8.2?

The default righthand behavior for keyboard shortcuts and invoking menus in the IDE (and Common Graphics applications) changed in Allegro CL 8.2. Common Graphics no longer handles the righthand alt key on the Windows platform because that overrides its functionality on some keyboards (especially European keyboards) for entering characters that don’t have dedicated keys.
