I started getting this on my computer (not in Visual Studio, but everywhere). I had the default input language for "English (New Zealand) - United States International," whatever that means. Changed it to Anglo-American. Disabled "Language bar"
"Control panel → Regional settings → Languages, click" Advanced ", see" Installed services. "See if you have several options - if you have the" International "option, delete it and I think the problem will disappear. This was for me.
AFAIK, this happened when I installed XP-SP3.
