Input menu reset to default!

Green · 30th August 2008, 16:23

Hi there
I'm using two input languages (US, and Arabic - PC ), but sometimes the Input Menu reset to default (British) !!!!

I don't know exactly when it reset, I thought it happened when I log off or when restart the machine but that was false, sometimes I restart and log off many times and the input menu doesn't change.
It's suddenly and randomly reset to default!!

BTY I tried repair permissions with no luck.

Any new ideas

Thanks.

Are you saying that your international (flag) menu shows only English UK, and that the Arabic keyboard doesn't show any more?
If you change some system settings in the System Preferences then your system crashes during your operation session, then your new settings will not be saved. If you restart your system after changing settings, then you would have new settings - kind of - saved.

Other scenario, you might have a utility application like Onyx (Hypothetically) might play with your setting when you use it or let it run in the background.

check the keyboard shortucts, sometimes it is configures to have "Command" + "Space" as to change the input language.

Thanks guys,
I can find languages I want in international menu, there is no third party applications play around my settings, and the keyboard shortcuts is default.

The problem in other way is, some time the selected languages unchecked so I have to recheck it again to make it available.
