    Switching a user doesn't switch language preferences [bug report]


    I would like to report a bug.


    We have two windows accounts on our computer - me (administrator) and my girlfriend.

    I have these languages/keyboard layouts set up:

    English, Czech, Russian


    She has these:

    English (UK), Czech, Slovak, Russian, Serbian, Macedonian, Bulgarian.


    Issue is when I switch account (switch user) from my girlfriend's to mine. Her language preferences stay loaded even though only my three languages are shown in the language bar and I type with different keyboard layout than shown in the language bar. By using Win+spacebar to change language, it cycles through all 7 in the background, so it is like a 'lottery' what keyboard layout you end up with.


    In this state, if I open language preferences, all her languages are loaded into the taskbar completely, so it shows different languages than my language preferences. See picture:

    Please report this so it is going to be fixed. It is really annoying.


    Thank you,

    Jan

    Switching a user doesn't switch language preferences [bug report]

    Prevent language from automatically being changed

    • Since Keyla has stopped working.
    • Two.
    • When I test if the language stays after switching between programs - I switch to a different program, then switch the language, then switch to the previous program.
    The steps you suggested didn't work, as I don't want to remove any of the languages.
