Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/975

Space key with a modifier (altgr in my case) seems to not send the right key code to the guest.
The key typed on the guest is not the right one.

To Reproduce
Host : Linux Manjaro (Xorg), Barrier version 2.3.3 (flatpak)
Guest : Linux Manjaro (Xorg), Barrier version 2.3.3 (flatpak)

Host keyboard Layout : fr-bepo_afnor
Guest keyboard Layout : fr-bepo_afnor

When typing <altgr>+<space> on the keyboard, it produces _ on the host (correct) and | on the guest

Expected behavior
It should obviously show _ key en the guest.

Supplemental
If I change the guest to another layout, say fr azerty_afnor, then it produces æ instead of _.
If I change the guest to another layout, say fr oss, then it produces æ instead of nothing (because nothing is bind on this keymap for this layout).

It seems as if <altgr>+<space> typed on the host send <altgr>+<a> to the guest

More Info
<altgr>+<a> produces | with fr bepo_afnor
<altgr>+<a> produces æ with fr azerty_afnor
<altgr>+<a> produces æ with fr oss
<altgr>+<a> produces â with fr latin9

<altgr>+<space> produces _ with fr bepo_afnor
<altgr>+<space> produces with fr azerty_afnor
<altgr>+<space> produces nothing with fr oss
<altgr>+<space> produces with fr latin9

Maybe you have same is as here:
https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/134

Helped me at least in situation where both my Linux server and clients had working US AltGr International dead keys keyboard layout, but things like AltGr+q and AltGr+5 didn't produce ä and € on the client side when used through Barrier.
