Description

Hi,
I'm a new arduino user from Poland and I have discovered an issue connected with using my language in Arduino IDE. As I try to comment the line of code and using polish character "ś" , which keyboard combination is "AltGr+s" , the app starts to verify the code despite the fact that hotkey that does that is "Ctrl+r". The problem appeared for the first time in version 1.6.5. AltGr (right Alt) also triggers keyboard menu navigation but it shouldn't because only left Alt should do this.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the problem in Arduino IDE 1.6.5 with a Polish keyboard, using AltGr+s to comment a line and comparing it with Ctrl+r; done means AltGr+s comments the line without triggering verification or menu navigation.
