Issue with setting Polish keyboard.

Hi,

I manage to set keyboard in X11 but have an annoying problem. Generally combination of 'Alt + character' should give polish sing, but only for few characters (a,e,o,l,c,n,z,x,). Now it works with each character on my keyboard and gives signs/symbols like:

©ßß←↓→þ

How to stop this, because it's very frustrating. When I made typo during writting I get some wierd characters.

Re: Issue with setting Polish keyboard.

Do you get these weird characters in some application only or everywhere (browser, commandline etc.)?
Post the output of 'localectl'.

I have this everywhere. Outout of localectl:

   System Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8
                  LC_COLLATE=C
       VC Keymap: pl2
      X11 Layout: pl
       X11 Model: pc105

I'm using LANG=en_US.UTF-8, check if it fixes this behavior.

Re: Issue with setting Polish keyboard.

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pl is most likely responsible - but even wlth variant "legacy", and the line including "latin" commented out, other keys produce symbols.
