The keyboard layout on my computer keeps reverting back to Canada CSA - which I do not want. I change it to U.S. and somehow within days, sometimes hours it reverts back to Canada CSA without my noticing how or when. A couple of times this has caused real problems when I did notice it when filling out forms which were then submitted.Hi Donna:
Something must be going on here. Does anyone have any idea how to select the U.S. keyboard layout and have it "stick". Could some sort of third party software I have installed or system setting I have chosen automatically change this setting?
Do you ever type Command + space, or Command + option + space ?
Not sure, but could it be that you have the Canada CSA and the US layouts checked in the International/Input Menu System control panel, and then when you type Command + space or Command + option + space, it switches to the next layout. This might explain the apparent random behavior.
I think that this behavior can be "turned off" by not having more than one layout checked or by unchecking the option in the control panel that does the switching. (International/Input menu/Options button.
Of course, if you have only the US layout checked in the first place then...never mind... : )
Hope this helps David
