High Contrast theme affecting other user profiles

Thanks for your reply.

If only that was the case Shawn.

I know that's how it's supposed to work but my experience is as I described - when she logs off (or uses switch user) the high contrast colour scheme still applies. When the next user who previously did not have the High Contrast theme applied logs on their
profile loads with the High Contrast theme as well. All subsequent users have the High Contrast theme imposed on their profile.

How can one user's theme affect other users theme settings?
