Please, can you be more specific? I would like to see a screenshot, What encoding are you using, what characters you want to write and what can you see?

It looks you wrote your description to bug name and there is not enough space. The text stops in Left parenthe

Apologies for description in title.

How do I find out the encoding?

I'll try and get a screenshot, but the effects occur randomly.  I'm not sure if the screenshot will help or not, because it will just show me trying to type "semi-colon" and getting another strange character instead.

I'll be using the Java editor, and then randomly when I type semi-colon, a different character will appear instead.  Then all the non-numeric/non-character keys on the right hand side of the keyboard (just before the RETURN key) will be messed up.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to change encoding, and I'm pressing it by accident?

Is there anything I can do to give you more information?  Something that might show you the internal state?

You can find encoding in right click on project -> properties -> in panel Sources in the bottom Encoding. 

It could help if I you attach messages.log from [your nb user dir]/var/log
Comment 4 cs94njw 2011-09-12 12:34:58 UTC 
The Encoding is UTF-8.

This problem is happening right now.  I've kept the editor open.  Is there anything else I can check?

I'll look at messages.log and see if I can send it to you without breaking my company's privacy.

I think I've resolved this in another ticket.  The developer was correct - I had an Italian keyboard installed as well, and the keyboard shortcut was Left Alt-Shift to change it.

This problem is resolved, thank you very much for your patience.
