[Qt-creator] Qt Creator confuses AltGr key with Ctrl+Alt

Hi,

Creator confuses the AltGr key (typically found on European keyboard
layouts) with Ctrl+Alt.

For example, when I want to type an opening bracket { on a Hungarian
keyboard, I press AltGr+B, however Qt Creator interprets this as
Ctrl+Alt+B which is hooked to a build shortcut, so something else
happens entirely instead of the opening bracket.

I haven't found an open bugreport for this, is there one?

Thanks,
Timur

Qt has various issues with AltGr:
