"Let me use a different input method for each app window" is the classic (pre-win10) behavior and is quite useful for multilingual productive users (we're not using ipad), for example I fix my native language on IM to chat with friends, english/random language on web/work.
But it causes an issue since win10:
The IME indicator is located after any notification icons and right before network/sound/time, so when you really want to click on an notification icon (no matter left/right click) and if the taskbar input method is different:
Then your mouse actually clicks on another icon, which is super annoying.
Still on win10 but not win11, there is a fallback solution to use the classic IME toolbar and embed it into taskbar, like this:
This way the notification icons won't move even if the input method changes.
I realize the win10 fallback solution is not because of the 'classic IME toolbar' but just it happens not to stop interfering with notification icons. So a way to fix it on win11 would be moving IME parts to the left-most fixed position of notification area.
