    Description

      Keys with duplicate role, i.e. keys that act as a dead-key or as a normal keys depending on modifiers randomly miss key presses. Try for example the following in a Qt application (tested with QtCreator) with Spanish keyboard layout (key 4) or Romanian keyboard layout (any number key):
      1. Press down AltGr key
      2. Press key (for example 4 in Spanish layout)
      3. Release AltGr key
      4. Press the same key again
      5. Repeat

      Expected output: Both the modified output and the normal output given for each repeat cycle. "~4~4~4..." with the example above.
      Actual output: The modified output of the key is sometimes missed. You will get something like "~4~4~44~4..." with the example above. In my case the output was right in about 70% of the cases.

      Note: I found the issue while debugging QTBUG-19176 and I think the issue is somehow related to modifying the keyboard state with ToUnicode function calls while constructing key specific mappings in QKeyMapperPrivate::updatePossibleKeyCodes in qkeymapper_win.cpp.
