Dear all,

I had a strange problem today. Usually, when I get back home from work and open my Macbook Pro out of the sleep status, I can normally enter my password without problem.

Today I tried several times to enter my password, but after 3 or 4 characters, I couldn't enter anything anymore. Sorry for my poor english, but the field where you normally enter the password, there is a blinking bar. This blinking bar suddenly disappeared always after I have entered 3 or 4 digits.

Finally I was forced to restart and then the strangest thing happened:

My language settings was changed from German -> British English. I had to go back to System Preferences -> Language and Text and had to adjust everything.

I hope someone can share his opinion here what could have caused the problem!

Thanks a lot!
