Laptop changes keyboards by itself after I copy and paste (control + v) data several times.

Hello. My laptop occasionally changes keyboards so that symbols such as `` come up instead of ' , etc. I am very familiar with key combinations to changes languages and I use several languages on my keyboard and can switch between them when I want to without any issues.

 

This problem, however, seems to occur by itself after I work on a Word document for a while and does not only happen when I press Alt + Shift or Control + Shift.

 

So I made an experiment. I figured that one of my most frequent activities when typing is that I copy and paste data from the internet or from other word documents. So perhaps the keyboard switching has something to do with the letter combinations Ctrl + V.

 

Indeed, after I copied and pasted a quotation about 15 times in to a word document (simply repeating Ctrl + V), suddenly the keyboard switched to French. I did it again a few times and it switched to another French/accent keyboard. I did it a few more times and it switched back to English. Does anyone know how I can stop this specific problem from recurring? I would appreciate any advice very much.
