Q: Input source indicator does not switch

I just updated my system to 10.11.6 and noticed that it's harder to switch between keyboards. Specifically, I have 3 keyboards that I always use. To switch between them I use hotkeys and just clicking on the flag in the top panel. The problem is when I switch from English to Russian, for example, the flag indicating the input source doesn't change, and remains the same, indicating English, however, I type in Russian. So the biggest issue is not knowing what language it is set to until I begin typing.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Other OS, Mac OS v. 10.11.6

    Check your keyboard shortcut for switching keyboards under: System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Input sources.

     

    Verify the shortcut isn't conflicting with another shortcut. This may prevent both from working. By default, it's set to use the same shortcut as Spotlight.
