You'd be using your PC, and suddenly the keyboard behaviour would change while you were in the middle of typing. I could never track it down to whether I'd inadvertently hit some key combination, or if it just happens. To get normal behaviour back again, I'd have to fiddle with keyboard and language personal preferences, or system settings. I never did find which one really did the trick, though I suspect that the system language configuration presets a few things at once. There were two big problems caused by that change: The one you mention where you can't use the punctuation, and it gets used for accent and letter composition. Which makes it damn near impossible to type in any semi-complex commands, when you don't have the ' or " ASCII symbols available from your keyboard. And, an inability to properly use the shift key (there'd be no typing, at all, in lower case; you'd have to type in all capitals - making it impossible to issue commands, or log in). -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
