[Bug 1675000] [NEW] Tilde sign (~) inaccessible on Swiss French keyboard

[AlainKnaff]

Public bug reported:

1)
alain at alain-pc:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:        16.04

2)
alain at alain-pc:~$ apt-cache policy plasma-workspace
plasma-workspace:
  Installed: 4:5.5.5.2-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 4:5.5.5.2-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 4:5.5.5.2-0ubuntu1 500
        500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


3) What I expect to happen:
In KDE, when I press the tilde key (AltGr + key immediately left to backspace), a tilde (~) should appear

4) What happens instead:
A caret (^) appears. This is the symbol that is mapped to that key without AltGr.

N.B. It does work if Swiss German is chosen, rather than Swiss French. However, normally the only difference between these two variants is supposed to be the characters öäü which switch position with 
éàè, and nothing else. Moreover, even in Swiss French, all other AltGr combos do work, so it's not as if simply the AltGr modifier was being ignored.

(N.B. I suppose the relevant package is indeed plasma-workspace, as this
is the package that owns the file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/workspace/keyboardlayout/libkeyboardlayoutplugin.so
. If this is not the right package for this bug, please feel free to re-
categorize it)
