#1940 Impossible to change keyboard layout on secure desktop using version 2.44

[Darrien]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install second keyboard layout.
2. Create master password using second language.
3. Enable secure desktop.
4. Try to unlock the database. When master password dialog appears on secure desktop press the shortcut to change the keyboard loyout.

Expected results:

1. Can change keyboard layout and type the password.

Actual results:

1. Layout does not change. Language bar is not displayed.

Observations:
Works with with previous version of KeyPass 2.43.

KeePass disables the IME on secure desktops, see

This apparently also affects keyboard layout switching.

I don't think this is the case. If you click on three dots button to show the password two times the language bar will appear and it will be possible to use the shutcut again.

Can this ticket be re-opened?

[Dominik Reichl]

The only change in the master key dialog and the secure desktop from KeePass 2.43 to 2.44 is that the IME is disabled now (one single call ImmDisableIME(0)). Therefore, I'm sure that your problem is caused by this.

As soon as Microsoft fixes the IME bug, we can enable it again. Until then, my suggestion would be to disable the secure desktop, if you need to change the keyboard layout.

Best regards,
Dominik

I have this problem too in KeePass 2.44 (

Does it work in 2.43? If so, revert to 2.43 until it's fixed.

cheers, Paul

2.43 has no problem
