Can't switch languages in Launchpad Mac OS

I have two languages in my System settings, and they switch correctly (with Cmd+Space keys) in every software I use. The only place where languages do NOT switch is Mac OS Launchpad (the search field on the top of the screen). To change the input language I have to swap to another (any) application, switch the language with Cmd+Space, then swap back to Launchpad.

The problem persists since 2016, from the very beginning I bought and set up my laptop.

How can I fix it?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Hello mfromm123,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

If I'm understanding your post correctly you're having an issue with changing language input using the Command-Space shortcut.

If the the issue is only happening in Launchpad, try testing the issue in safe mode and in a new user account based on how your Mac reacts by following these steps:

Kindest Regards.
