qtubuntu sends wrong text as part of QKeyEvent

Mir either has to expose the xkb_state (which we currently do not - and might be only on the server) or provide the keysym text directly with the event.

Went for the second approach key entry text is attached to every press and repeat event.

Fix committed into lp:mir at revision None, scheduled for release in mir, milestone 1.0.0

Alt+Up and Alt+Down to switch between tabs in Kate also doesn't work currently. Could it have the same cause as this Ctrl+C issue?

Don't think so, Alt+Up/Alt+Down don't have text attached.

Also http://paste.ubuntu.com/24045824/ seems to report the same presses in both unity7 and unity8

This bug was fixed in the package mir - 0.27.0+17.10.20170630-0ubuntu1
