bug#28543: 25.2; erratic keyboard mapping

["Tandon, Neil (EC)" <neil.tandon@canada.ca>]

When I start emacs, my keyboard mapping is fine. But after some time, the keyboard mapping spontaneously changes. For example:

-instead of backslash, < appears

-when I type left curly brace, right curly brace or apostrophe, nothing appears

-when I type left curly brace twice, ^^ appears

-when I type right curly brace twice, `` appears

Switching out of Latex mode has no effect. No other windows applications are affected. For example, my keyboard mapping in Notepad works fine. When I restart emacs, the keyboard mapping returns to normal.

I have not been able to pinpoint a precise sequence of events or amount of time leading up to the change of keyboard mapping.
