 In Write, with the cursor in the lower right quadrant of the screen, two
 right mouse clicks will change the "input method" to a random language.
 Eg, Amharic or Thai-Lao.  Subsequent typing creates 'character not in
 font' number squares.

 The first click pops up the right mouse button menu.  Because of the mouse
 position on the screen, the Input Methods line is selected, and it's
 submenu displayed to the left of it.  The mouse, without moving, is in a
 valid position for the submenu.  Depending on how high the mouse was, it
 could be selecting any of the submenu's languages.  A second mouse click
 selects the new language, and the menus disappear.  But now typing "is
 broken".  In addition to a slow double click, a fast triple click will
 have the same effect.

 Being a double mouse click from brokenness seems suboptimal.

 B4 with build 542.
