Bug#270235: xserver-xfree86: ALT+SHIFT keys have to be pushed in *exact* order to get int chars

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Hello.

Seems that keyboard driver is somehow broken.
To get Polish international uppercase character I have to push

ALT | SHIFT | Z/X/C/E/L/O/N/A

Exactly at this order.
Pushing:

SHIFT | ALT | Z/X/C/E/L/O/N/A

doesn't work for me. That can be easily reproduced cause many friends of
mine checked it too, and they got the same results. 

That's quite weird. Should work with every order.
I checked it with both keyboard and kbd driver. 

Under console (normal text-mode) ordering doesn't matter. I can use both
ALT+SHIFT+A and SHIFT+ALT+A for example.

Ask me if you will need any further info.

Thanks and regards
fEnIo
