Language switches to first available option

Hello, all. Students have reported a problem where the site keeps switching the language from the default one (English) to the first language listed in the dropdown (currently Czech) without any user input. 

"Language autodetect" (autolang) is disabled and "Default language" (lang) is set to English. 

Some students have also reported that they have been prompted to change their password when the language switches. So far, we have been unable to recreate either error on our end, but we have gotten enough reports where we do not think it is a fluke.

Any ideas why this could be happening and how to fix it? We have already forced languages at the course level where possible. However, this does not help outside of the course (e.g. the password reset page), and we do have international students. So we would rather retain the language switching ability.
