Rider switches my windows keyboard layout--anyone know how to disable this?
Rider (and actually, the VS plugin as well) have this bad habit of changing my windows keyboard layout. I'm in a dvorak layout, and if I switch to Rider--AND RIDER ONLY--the keyboard layout will switch to a QWERTY layout that isn't even available in my Windows locale. I've removed all the QWERTY keyboard layouts; it's only possible to switch to a dvorak layout, from a UI perspective.
I had this problem with Visual Studio as well until I disabled a particular setting (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/484248/visual-studio-appears-to-randomly-adopt-american-keyboard-layout), but only after Resharper was installed.
It is NOT the keyboard input settings; I also have those completely disabled.
This is incredibly irritating, because I usually end up accidentally editing files that I don't want to, or performing commands that weren't intended. Is there a way to disable this terrible behaviour? I couldn't find anything in the settings. If this keeps up, I'll honestly just uninstall Rider and Resharper; they're not worth this destructive behaviour.

It seems to be a known issue

It's been happening to me over the last few months. First it was the comments keymapping now it's suddenly reverted my en-GB to something that swaps the @ to " very, very annoying. Windows shows me the correct language layout and it's fine in every other application but not Rider on Windows. Rider on Linux is fine. Current version is:-

Craig please collect an additional log
1. Install a plugin that would collect the data from your keyboard https://uploads.jetbrains.com/files/2023_07_28_2BxVmitWus5JdvWoBH3naz_JBS/KeyCodesTest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip?secret=8mD6dVsg5TCCFrh2PC3Hp4AsEuQPYRo1
2. Open the plugin window by "View | Tool windows | Dump Key Codes"
3. Type the @ into a plugin window, so that the issue will be reproduced
4. Copy the key code dump here.
