#35153 Changing Bibles switches UK/US keyboard layouts

Posted by kevin.king@liegeman.org on 18 January 2019 - 12:04 PM

I've been having problems for a long time with my Windows 10 machine mysteriously starting to type @ instead of ". I soon found out it was spontaeously switching from my normal UK keyboard layout to US. But, although I suspected that it might be something to do with switching between using eSword and other apps, I couldn't pin the problem down because it doesn't always happen. But I've finally figured out what is going on.

 

If I am using KJV, then I can switch between eSword and other apps to my hearts' content with no problems. But if I am using the WEB® version I can briefly switch to view the eSword window and flip back without any problem: but if I do anything that causes a redisplay of the bible text, then eSword instantly switches to US layout.

 

This is really irritating. Presumably, the WEB® file identifies the language as US English: but I don't see why it has to assume that I've suddenly started using a US keyboard. Is there any way of preventing it from happening?
