[SOLVED] Firefox / openjdk messing up typing direction?

Edit:

Hi!
OK, after I have been able to stop laughing I managed to delete gnome-sessions, which did the trick... but it happened again shortly after, so now I'm trying to find out what makes my typing direction go reverse.

LOL! At first I thought this was another language, and moved the topic to the "Other languages" section. Then I looked at the indentation, and thought it was a right-sided kind of writing... then I started reading it backwards...

Anyway, look at your keyboard configuration, the culprit should be there.

EDIT:
Alright, you sorted it out :>

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox / openjdk messing up typing direction?

Hi, thx!


After I stopped panicking, I even figured out, that this happened, because I loaded a Japanese website (danball java games wink). It sticks around after that, until I killall firefox as root (just closing firefox makes it crash / freeze) and delete the firefox session, so the .jp-site isn't instantly recovered when opening it again.

The first time it happened, it seemed to affect everything even after a reboot (maybe I messed it up even more when trying to repair it the first time), now it just affects firefox. Still annoying.


Ideas how to remove that behaviour? thx!

Seems to be openjdk6 - related: I tried jre instead and there are no problems.


edit: as that works fine and jre didn't crash anything any more since I compiled the testing kernel, i'm just sticking with it now until openjdk updated. => kind of solved wink
