Sunbird 0.3a2 on Win2k en_US SP4.

When typing the summary for a new calendar entry, if I sitch the input language (using alt+shift keyboard shortcut) I get weird effects. The first noticeable one is that capslock is on (keyb light is off). Then to get lowercase letters I have to turn on capslock or switch back to the other input lang.

I noticed a few other details but the only other one I can reproduce is some windows shortcuts stop working or give unexpected results. e.g. ctrl+esc usually brings up the start menu but now it brings up the task manager.


Reproducible: Always

Can't confirm on Win2k with Sunbird 0.3a2+. Switching from de-DE to en-US and vice versa works without problems / side effects.

Can't confirm this either, testing with Sunbird 0.3 release on Windows XP switching between English and Japanese inputs. Reporter, if you still encounter the bug with the latest nightly and have further information, please include it in a comment.
