Language switching stops working using globe button button on MBP M1

When I launch my MBP M1 language switching using fn button works normally, but in some time after launch this feature stops working, and I should reset my MBP to use this feature.


(fn button works, but it doesn't switch languages)


How can I solve this issue?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

This "feature" with "Fn" button switch language mode often starts after closing-open MacBook M1:


FIX this:


Option 1:


Open terminal -> kill TextInputSwitcher


Close terminal


Tap by mouse cursor on language menu (top right corner), and change language few times. After "Fn" button will start work again automatically.


Option 2:


Open terminal -> kill TextInputSwitcher


then


cd


/System/Library/CoreServices/TextInputSwitcher.app/Contents/MacOS/ 


and


./TextInputSwitcher
