2018.4 auto-switching keyboard language?

This is the first time I've seen this ever since I started on PT5.x.

I noticed that as soon as I enter text to name something (marker, track, bus etc.) the keyboard language switches to US. Drives me crazy!

It seems to have started after installing 11.3.2 but it also happens on OS-level so it could well be the OS doing it globally. Is there a setting somewhere that causes this to happen?

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks!

Frank.

Hi,

I'm quoting Frank's old post here because this issue seems to be back

I'm getting this for the first time all the time with 2018.4 ...drives me crazy
strangely I get that issue on my HDX / MP2012 and not on my Digi 003 / Trashcan

same OS (X.13.5) and same version of PT

I tried marcelkavka solution in another thread with no success

any idea welcome

IIRC, there's a setting in Preferences to auto-switch language. I'm going from memory here, so may be recalling incorrectly.

The setting is on the very first tab of Pro Tools' preferences (the Display tab)

I know this setting and I of course tried that with no luck
the language is switching when the audio engine initialize and then each time I click somewhere .... very annoying

issue still there with 2018/7

I had the same encounter when I updated to 2018.4 but did not happen in 2018.7.

I solved it by removing all the languages(Spanish, Japanese, German) under System Preferences-> Keyboard-> Input Source and only leaving English. Then, completely uninstalled PT 2018.4 and re-installed. I launched PT once and went through my setup. Once it was established, I went back and activated my Keyboard input sources.

PT launched normal and never switched languages again.

Ever

Thanks a lot for your suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work for me ...
I'm getting mad with this issue ...

Sorry to hear that. I have no more suggestions but I hope you find a solution.

Had the same problem. It disappeared - I don't know exactly why. Can't remember. I think it's an OS issue.
Try to fix all possible OS trouble.
