Loads of people would be reporting this odd behaviour if Thunderbird was doing weird things to a computers keyboard mapping everytime someone downloaded and installed Thunderbird. But they are not and that's because it's not in the code.

This problem is likely to be your Windows OS. Found this info, so worth reading all comments.

eg: The combination Windows key+Space bar will change the keyboard language. If you remove US English from the set of installed keyboard languages then the change can no longer happen.
