I can't reproduce it.

Please provide some more information like the exact version you are using (the hash you can see on the splash screen).
Also it would be helpful if you could upload a .blend file which has this problem.

ok, that is the official Blender 2.79b release.
When I open the file in it, go to edit mode, and press ALT-H, some hidden geometry becomes visible. So I still can't reproduce it.

Which OS do you use?
Can you make a short video/gif?
What keyboard do you use?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04LTS. Sorry, I don't know how to make a video. I'm using my laptops keyboard (Samsung ATIV book 4).

I wonder if your window manager is grabbing the keypress (either ALT or ALT-H) before blender is seeing it.

Same here using Ubuntu Studio 16.04.5 LTS

Just to make sure we are on the same page; this is not working for you?

Maybe it works in a nightly build of Blender...

Do your ALT and H key work at all?

Giovanni commented

2018-10-12 17:38:20 +02:00

Yes, they do. I can type anything with them.

Jacques Lucke commented

2018-10-12 17:45:08 +02:00

what do you type with ALT?

Giovanni commented

2018-10-12 17:48:00 +02:00

I just found out that when I try to type Alt-H here, it gives me "h", maybe is not working with the h?? I know that if I type Alt-n it gives me "ñ"...

sounds like there is some fancy stuff going on on your keyboard... Can you disable this behavior of the ALT key somehow and check if it works in Blender then?

Giovanni commented

2018-10-12 17:54:56 +02:00

How can I do that?? The disabling part??

Jacques Lucke commented

2018-10-12 18:00:12 +02:00

I don't know, search for "compose key" or so...
