Research direction

Start in the Keyboard Manager new editor and reproduce the listed sequence: add the two left-side modifier remaps, then attempt the right-side Alt-to-Win remap. Compare the result with the classic editor; the issue is resolved when the third remap can be added successfully without the error.
