 Hello,

 It seems there is some conflicting between the alt-shift toggle (which 
 also makes altgr-shift perform the toggle) and the altgr group3/4 
 processing.

 Could you try to change in /etc/default/keyboard: 
  
 XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" 
  
 into 
  
 XKBOPTIONS="grp:lalt_lshift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" 
  
 (two additional 'l' to enable only alt-shift and not altgr-shift) 
  
 I'll commit something to make keyboard-configuration automatically set 
 this.
