Summary0001872: Zandronum changes your keyboard language when playing online
DescriptionI've had this problem on all pc were I've played Zandronum. I have a swedish keyboard with the letters Å, Ä, Ö. Zandronum supports these, but when playing online it pretty often changes to the english keyboard language and when pressing for example 'Ö' it types ';' instead.

It's also seen in the Windows language bar. When tabbing down Zandronum you see for a short moment that it says "EN" and then changes to "SV".

Can't you edit this? Would a moderator change the title for me to "Zandronum changes your keyboard language when playing online"?

By the way, I have no idea if it's the same in Singleplayer, yet I've only experienced it online.

Are you sure you are not pressing the key combination for switching keyboard layout when in game? (e.g. left Alt + Shift)

Windows by default does not have same keyboard layout for all windows. Each window has its own current keyboard layout. If you change this setting to a global keyboard layout to be used instead, it might fix the problem.

Yes Konar, I'm sure of that I'm not pressing it. The language can change after just have sent a message in the chat.

@MazterQyoun-ae:
Zandronum and Skulltag are the only application that has EVER changed my keyboard language. Even if I use other english applications, nothing changes. But I can give your suggestion a try.
I tried to disable the keyboard language thing once, didn't work... Still changed.

This happens to me too.
EDIT:After searching I found out that zandronum will only use the layout that is choosen as default.

Sorry for the mega-bump. This can be closed.
The issue does not appear anymore, I think it might have been something with my settings that was messed up.
