On a complete random basis, the keys Z and Y switch places on my keyboard.
So when trying to undo, Illustrator goes to "contour mode" instead. And a little later, it愀 back to normal. It has ocurred on different Windows platforms. What gives?

I believe you can change these by editing the keyboard shortcuts (Edit>Keyboard shortcuts) but I am not sure how that would happen on accident...

Yeah, I know shortcuts can be changed, but this is something else. Like a bug or something, because it has happened on teo different computers. Those keys just change place! It usually happens after working a while with the program. Weird...

Do you have a second language/keyboard installed on your system? Then
it could happen that you're switching keyboard layouts, e.g., when
incidentaly pressing left-Shift-Alt I can switch between english and
german keyboard (and on german keyboards y and z change places).

This is happening to me too. I've realised that after a while my keyboard layout swaps from the normal "qwerty" to the French "azerty." I'm guessing it's something to do with regional settings (Australia). That's all I know at the moment...

Hey, people, do you have the language switch in the System Tray? Is there a shortcut assigned to it? If there is, then usually it's Ctrl-Alt or Ctrl-Shift, and it's easy to figure out what happens when you use Illustrator with this global shortcut on... Just my two cents, don't know if it's it or not.

Alex!
Is there a way to disable this shortcut to prevent it from happening again?

Nader,
If it's the language selection then double-click (I think it's a double-click) on the language switch in the System Tray: the Keyboard Properties dialog will appear (you can find the same dialog under Windows's menu Start>Settings>Keyboard). Select the Language tab and set the Switch Languages to None.
