Changeset 7410 handles altgr-insert problem. Unfortunately, with that patch, there is a problem in En-us keyboard: '|' (bar) cannot be displayed. After checking keymap files, we found there are two definitions to "bar" in en-us:
bar 0x56 altgr (in "common")
bar 0x2b shift (in "en-us")
First line is actually invalid in en-us lanuage. The 2nd definition will cover the 1st one.

Patch in Changeset 7410 didn't consider multi-definition case. It scans keymap files, if keysym needs altgr, it will records that, after that, if keysym is pressed but altgr not pressed, it will add an altgr press opeartion. It is correct if all keysyms are unique and valid. But in the above multi-definition case, there is problem: when reading
bar 0x56 altgr (in "common")
it will record altgr needed, but in fact, that definition won't be used, it always use the 2nd definition and won't need altgr. Then if the keysym is pressed, the code will still add an altgr press operation, that will cause problem.

So, if we cannot avoid multi-definition in keymap files, the altgr flag (whether altgr needed or not) should also be refreshed according to the 2nd defintion. In the above case, when reading the 1st line, it records altgr needed; then reading 2nd line, 2nd definition will cover the 1st, meanwhile the altgr flag should be reset (the 2nd definition doesn't need altgr, so altgr flag should be removed.)

Following patch supplements patch in Changeset 7410, solve the problem. Please share your comments. Thanks!
