The default hotkey for switching input languages is Alt+Shift and there's no UI feedback when you trigger it.

Depending on settings/version of Windows, the input method is actually tracked per-window so it's really easy to end up with weird/annoying behaviour.

If you haven't already I'd suggest disabling that hotkey. You may find the weirdness partially resolves itself.

Nah... the problem is, I would remove the French layout from my user configuration, but Windows would randomly decide to re-add (and use) it. If I go to the languages menu in Control Panel, French would not be listed there. I'd have to add French, and then remove it again. But a few hours later the same bug would hit me again and I'm outputting accented letters all over the place.
