Question

i have encountered a really weirdest bug in eclipse, i would love if someone will help with it.

after a while of coding eclipse simply starts to “mix up” with the letters that are being typed. meaning i press ‘s’ and it displays a different letter ‘o’ and it happens for other keys as well d becomes an e…and so on.

the weird thing is that out side of eclipse every the keyboard works fine…
and if i restart eclipse every think goes back to normal…till it happens again

i have switched keyboard, reinstalled eclipse… any other ideas?

i work with windows XP, and galileo-php-eclpse

any ideas?

Answer 1

Sometimes you use combination of keys Alt+Shift+SomeOtherLetter. If you don’t choose SomeOtherLetter quick enough keyboard will be switched to some other defined in Control Panel -> Regional And Language Options -> Languages -> Details...

After restarting Eclipse will pickup default keyboard language.
