Windows 10: For some reason I can't choose the option "Docked in the taskbar" for the Language Bar options

For some reason I can't choose the option "Docked in the taskbar" for the Language Bar options. See the image below, the alternative is disabled. I just wanted to try out having it floating on desktop, and now I can't switch back...

Extra language bar appearing in taskbar

I often switch between languages while typing, so I always set the language bar to be visible and floating on the desktop. This makes it more convenient to change language options while working, and saves space on the taskbar. But recently an extra language bar has appeared in the taskbar:

Any suggestions?

This is Windows 10 64-bit. I just installed Cumulative Update 1803, but this problem has existed for at least a few weeks.
