YOWkid, thankyou thankyou THANKYOU! This has been making me mental. My machine flips into other languages seemingly of its own accord. Suddenly I'm typing in Russian! Now I know why. :-: ^ I'm a big-time Alt-Tab user, and Alt-Shift-Tab to cycle in the other direction, and some of those alt-shifts must flip my language bar. What a relief to know why, and another reason to be grateful to FT. And, staying vaguely on topic, to have a desire to give away items like the SEVEN pieces of paper I gave away last week, or the four I gave away in December
