Keyboard language changes unexpectedly


Hi all, since updating recently, my Mac changes languages unexpectedly, at random.

For example after launching Numbers or Pages.

Please note that I have 2 languages defined and I need them so, the option of just leaving one on the list is practical.

Thank you!

There are two obvious things to check:


1) What are the shortcuts assigned to changing the input source. If you have the Globe or Fn key set to change input source, then chances are it is too easy to trigger this change accidentally.



Check System Settings->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts->Input Sources:





2) In System Settings->Keyboard->Input Sources, click Edit and then see if "Automatically switch to a document input source" is active. You may want to turn that off and see if it has an effect on the issue at hand.
