Description: It becomes impossible to type character ~ in French. Instead it triggers the highly intrusive, therefore annoying side panel. Steps to Reproduce: 1. In French localisation (even with a new profile), type AltGr 2é~ key (so not the numerical keypad). 2. Optionally, check what keys are attributed to the Side panel. Actual Results: The side panel is triggered. If you keep doing it, you go through a cycle of trigger and make disappear. Expected Results: You should be able to type a space key and get your ~ in your document. The side panel should stay away. Optionally you may check what key is used by the side panel; by default it is only Shift F5. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: On French keyboards, AltGr 2é~ doesn’t produce an immediate result: if you follow with a letter, it would print characters like ãñ…, but if you follow by Space, it prints the ~ character.
Why does this have Hardware,OS set to All,All and which operating system and desktop environment are you on anyway? Sounds like Compose Key AltGr followed by ~ Tilde supposed to be waiting for the next keystroke to form a composed character. Which it does for me on Linux GNOME with an English keyboard Compose Key set to AltGr. Not triggering the sidebar.

Setting to new because I see it reported in bug 145170 comment 2. Somewhat similar issue in bug 146906 comment 26. There are various issues with Alt Gr vs Ctrl + Alt shortcuts depending on keyboard layouts, see bug 107244.
I think this should be fixed with same fix as bug #151059 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 151059 ***
