Description

As title says - when "Automatically switch to a document's input source" is on, keyboard layout is not preserved when switching back and forth to other tabs/programs.

Expected result: Tabs should keep keyboard layout which was set to them when said option is enabled.
Other programs behave as described expected result.

HyperTerm version: 0.7.1.36

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in HyperTerm 0.7.1.36 on OS X with “Automatically switch to a document's input source” enabled, switching between tabs and other programs. Trace how keyboard input sources are handled during tab and application changes; done means each tab restores its assigned layout consistently.
