Incorrect character encoding

After the last update, I have to emphasize in the whole system that I make mistakes in my native PL words. Firefox, Thunderbid, Dolphin, everywhere. I have PL packages installed for each of the programs but they are not included. I am working on KDE. What is the cause?

Example, correct pencil name "ołówek" I have to correct on "o³ówek"

Re: Incorrect character encoding

Also for "locale" and "locale -a"

"o³ówek" is iso-8859 representation of UTF-8, so something™ fudges the locale, but apparently the system locale is ok.

Re: Incorrect character encoding

hunspell-pl contains a few data files that are lying passively on the disk, affecting nothing: that is spellchecker data. I also have hunspell-pl 20201011-2 installed and there is no issues with locale. Therefore that can’t be the cause.

Since it’s gone, it will be hard to debug now. Perhaps something went wrong in KDE itself and some programs received a wrong LANG value.

I checked all files KDE and GUI KDE. There was no indication of an error. The fact is, KDE is quite a buggy product. I haven't found a candidate for a KDE replacement yet.

Re: Incorrect character encoding

Another user has reported a similar issue with hunspell-de, but there it only occurs with autocorrection, which makes perfect sense.

Therefore please clarify: is your issue happening with any text displayed or is that a bug present only while using the autocorrection? Now, if I re-read your original message taking schard’s report into account, I see it may be interpreted as such. But this isn’t clear (possibly a language barrier).

If that occurs only with autocorrection, then most likely hunspell-pl was in fact responsible: latest changes indicate such a problem. We had miscommunication here. =)

Re: Incorrect character encoding

The problem was with autocorrect.
