hi,
This problem happens since 2012.3, but because it doesn't happen from the first time, the users didn't notice it.
the problem is when we move between deskTop and windows explorer twice or thrice, NVDA stopped switching between different keyboard layouts inside windows explorer.
it converts the language layout when we are on desktop, but when we move from desktop to any partition/folder thrice or 4 times, Nvda stopped converting.
sorry for reporting it lately, but it started to occure clearly in main 5896.
it doesn't happen in windows xp.
it just happens in windows 7.
here is a log file to show you the problem.
thanks.

Do you mean it stops being announced, or do you mean the layout actually stops changing?
Also, are you switching layouts with something like alt+shift or control+shift each time, or have you already set Desktop and Windows explorer to the wanted layouts and are just moving focus between them expecting to hear NVDA announce the layout?

it stops changing.

we change the layout using alt+shift, the problem happens when we change the layout after a period of time not from the first time..

hi,
this issue doesn't happen in xp.
should i attach a log from xp to compare between the log of the problem and the log where it doesn't happen there?
thanks.

hi,
any progress with this ticket?
NVDA in windows 7 still doesn't switch between different keyboard layouts uptill now.
it is really an annoying bug.
it works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't when we switch between keyboard layout using alt+shift.
thanks.

May be talking out of my hat, but has anyone tried it turning uac off?
Also, could some subtle windows update have affected it.

Might be worth testing the working version and see if it still does work.
I cannot here as I have no win 7 at my disposal just now.

This sounds like it has been resolved from #3008 (comment). Possibly related #7383
