------------------
These are individual machines of professors. One has the U.S., Simplified
Chinese and Traditional Chinese keyboards, and the other has the U.S. and
Japanese keyboards. They were both set up from scratch, not imaged. It may
be happening on other machines but if so, I've not been told.
I don't even have the character palette enabled on these, which makes it
even more bizarre. It seems to happen during use.
Thanks,
Laura
