I note on 4.42 when you change the keyboard input country to another
country an obey file is created <Choices$Write>.Boot.Predesk.KbdSetup
The file is removed when changed back to default.
The file is an obey file that runs the country command.
I have tested this also on my Pinebook. If you run *Country UK it will
return your system back to UK. I'm guessing there must be something in
your startup sequence that is configuring to another country.
What occurs if you go into Configure-Keyboard and press the Default
button, then click Set to make it apply?
(sorry if you have already done the above!)
