I too have two keyboard layouts configured and this happens to me as
well, under GNOME/Xorg and afaics is simply me pressing by accident
Windows/Super + Space. This is the shortcut for switching the keyboard
layout.
I suspect it's the same for you.
You can reconfigure the shortcut in gnome-control-center.
Go to "Tastatur->Texteingabe->Zur nächsten Quelle wechseln"
