Why does my keyboard switch language in most input fields on the web?

I'm basically using US keyboard as my default, but I also have enabled Czech (QWERTY), which has quite different layout for when I need those special characters.

The problem is, that in the past few days whenever I put focus in a password field in Google Chrome, it automatically switches from the US to Czech and I can't switch back, as it is grayed out.

But once I click out of the password field, I can change it back without any problems. What could possibly cause this? I'm using OS X 10.6.6 on Macbook Pro if that's of any relevance.

Solution 1:

I've had weird input-switching behavior before when the keyboard shortcut to switch input sources was the same as something else I was using, like Quicksilver. Try disabling or changing the relevant shortcuts in System Preferences (under Keyboard & Text Input).

UPDATE: Detailed instructions:

• Open System Preferences
• Open the Keyboard preference (under Hardware)
• Select Keyboard and Text on the left
• Find "Select the previous input source" in the box on the right and uncheck it. Its shortcut was probably set to Command-Space.

Solution 2:

I could solve the issue by performing the following steps in Chrome:

• disabling all chrome extensions
• disable chrome extension developer mode
• quit and restart chrome
• enabling the previous settings again
