Alt key not working as expected in coded step

The following code does not work properly when executed:

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyDown(Keys.Alt);
Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.D);
Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyUp(Keys.Alt);

The behavior is like pressing the Alt Gr + Q keyboard combination, instead of Alt+Q

Telerik: the issue is fixed and solution will be available in our next internal product release planned to be out by mid May 2015.

And now the AltGr key is not represented as a shift state by any of the browsers -- it's just passed through as an invalid key.  Previously (3 years ago) the browsers would have used Ctrl and Alt to represent this, so would have been equivalent to the Alt key in a way.  But that doesn't work any more! So not web-based program would be able to capture an Alt + key IN ANY WAY.  This is a very serious problem!!

More than that, there doesn't seem to be any way to emulating an Alt+key, which is quite an oversight!!  All the browsers use Alt keys for accesskey, so this is not a minor problem.
