Resolve various crashes caused by language settings
Authored by: afb on Jan 21, '06 07:51:25PM
I can't say that this has happened to me, but I do use the keyboard layout menu often. Most of the time it's set to the US Extended layout (which has lots more diacriticals than the standard US layout).

Recently, though, I was trying to type something in Hebrew (not that I speak it or anything). It worked, but when I switched back to the US Extended layout, it kept typing in Hebrew. I tried logging out, trashing prefs, removing the Hebrew keyboard from the menu, and still the US extended keyboard setting typed in Hebrew. Luckily, I thought to remove it from the menu; after doing this and adding it back, the problem was fixed. (Now that I think about it, I ought to report this bug to Apple ...)

Also, a lot of times I find that the menu will want to stay in a Japanese keyboard for some reason. Quitting all open apps seems to fix this.
