Hi, The first situation occurs when the language is set to a specific language rather than default.
The problem is occasionally the rotor sets onto language rather than character. I suspect this is because of the auto switching to actions or messages when those choices become available, then the rotor sets to the last choice in the list, which is languages by default. Now, a single-finger vertical flick changes the language, and when the change is from default to the same voice selection in the rotor, this is easily missed. So, now the auto-language switching is not active because the language is set on the specific language rather than the default language. Thin, if another single-finger vertical flick is detected, the language could have changed to Russian, without you really noticing. I figured this quirk out a few years ago, but have never written accessibility about the occasional situation. I just move language up one spot in the rotor settings so it is no longer the last option.
