Could you please create a new user and see how it goes there? More information would be useful too. What version of Fedora are you on, for example? What customisations have you made?

PS: the default shortcut for changing input methods is ctrl + space, right? Is the language actually changing when you use shift + alt? Have you modified the keyboard shortcut?

The system you use happens at a lower level of the system. The keyboard layout indeed changes, but Gnome Shell does not know about it and does not accordingly update the indicator (and a dconf setting).

  • You can continue using that keybinding, and ignore the language indicator or turn it off.
  • Alternatively, use a keybinding defined in Settings - Keyboard - Keyboard shortcuts, “Typing” section.
