>Description:

The combination [right alt][cursor key] is erroneously handled as
[right alt][keypad cursor key]. As a result, e.g. [AltR][Up] will
return ^H (0x08) since it invokes the compose character by digit
function.

The problem appears to be in sys/dev/kbd/atkbd.c:atkbd_read_char(),
where the state of the 0xE0 prefix is discarded before composing
a character is handled.
