------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 1 13:51:57 +0000 2008 ------- I want to point out in addition that I don't have problems with that keyboard layout dectection (even if it is probably wrong for most users since nearly everyone uses a keyboard with US layout). I've problems with the way it works: 1) The program tries to make a proper choice. 2) I, the user, am not satisfied and overrules the program by making the correct choice for my situation. 3) The program detects immediately that it was overruled and changes the choice made by the user. So here we have the classical problem of "who's at the controls?" In my humble opinion it is "not done" that the program has the last right to decide. Even if the user is to make a wrong choice according to the programs standards, the programs last resort is to advise about it and it should never be able to persist in its own opinion. I suggest the following procedure: The program can make the detection only, I repeat only, at the first start after installation and if the user makes another choice the program has to respect that choice. I would furthermore suggest that the program makes the choice not on basis of the keyboard layout but based upon the language of the user interface of the program itself. The program can safely assume that the user understands the language of the user interface and that it will be very likely that the user will create most documents in that particular language. I've never seen any program so far that needed a reconfiguration of the computer system in order to work properly. If this "feature" remains active now or in the future I predict that a lot of users will switch to programs that work more intuitively, like Abiword for example. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
