If you are using some keyboard language other than English, that is a possibility.

I also found this answer to your question doing a search:

The Right ALT has been commandeered by a Graphic Driver control panel. There should be a corresponding item in your notification tray that allows you to enter and reconfigure the keyboard preferences so that your Right ALT is allowed to act normally.

Both "Alt" keys on my keyboard do the same functions.

What is different on yours?

The right alt is using as Alt Gr (Left Alt + Ctrl) key.

Keyboard language was one of the things in my original post.

But glad you got it to work how you wanted it.
