Default Weird Keyboard Problem

Hey, I have been having two weird keyboard problems lately that I can't figure out what is causing them.

1. My keyboard input will randomly switch to Dvorak as its entry language. I had tried out Dvorak a month ago as the input language and didn't like it. Now, every so often, when I'm typing it'll be in Dvorak. The settings are correct under control panel for US English. The only solution I have is to restart my computer.

2. Sometimes, the cursor will be stuck as if the right or left arrow is being held down. For example, if I wanted to type "the" into google, it would appear as "eht" because the cursor keeps going back to the left and the beginning of the box. Once this occurs, it affects all applications. There is no physical problem with the keyboard that I am aware of. It happens randomly and occurs about once a day. The only fix I have been able to come up with is to restart my comp.

Any help would be appreciated.

Default Re: Weird Keyboard Problem

God wants you to use Dvorak. (He works in mysterious ways, don'tcha know.)

Are you in Windows? What happens when you remove Dvorak entirely? (Or you could remove qwerty...)

Do you have the keyboard key-switch setup? In windows the default is alt-space, I think.
