What should happen:
Adding a second input source (Russian, in my example) should result in being able to switch to it and use it immediately.
What happens now:
It is not recognized until you rearrange its order.

Steps to reproduce this bug:

1. Have English set as primary language.
2. Go to Settings > Region & Language > Input Sources and add Russian.
3. Russian layout is added to Input Sources and the indicator becomes visible in the Top Bar.
4. You can switch between languages with the assigned keyboard shortcut but the text input won't change.
5. Rearrange their order in Input Sources: make Russian primary, English secondary.
6. You can now enter text in Russian.
7. You can now put Russian back to being second in the list (so it does not cause problems at logic screen, opening up new browser window, etc.)

Screenshots are attached.
