Reading Time: < 1minuteIn my last project for an international customer some of the users reported that the keyboard layout was switching occasionally. In the morning the user started his published desktop and the keyboard layout was being set to French (FRA) as desired. After some hours the input language suddenly was changing to German (DE) or English (EN). The interesting thing on this was, that the taskbar always showed FRA as input language. If you started to type some text inside the session it got interpreted as DE or EN keyboard layout. The user was not doing any changes in the control panel. The best part of this story was that it was impossible to reproduce this behaviour. A logoff from the session and fresh login fixxed the issue until the problem occured again.
