Right-CTRL key not supported in Kubuntu 14.04?

In my fresh install of Kubuntu 14.04, I can't use anymore the (pretty useful) shortcut to move along words: (right) CTRL + Left (or Right) Arrow.

The Left-Control key is working fine. If I try to add a secondary shortcut for this action in System settings > shortcuts & gestures > standard shortcuts > forward one word, I got an error popup saying:

This key is not supported by Qt

My keyboard didn't change, it's a basic French AZERTY 101 keys. Is there a trick to configure something somewhere?

With Unity on Ubuntu 14.04, I managed to have a fully working right control key using keyboard "Français" instead of "Français (variante)", using the keyboard icon on top right of the screen.

"Français (variante)" is the default selected during installation...

I don't know how to apply that on Kubuntu, sorry !
