Research direction
No file or test is named. First reproduce the behavior in PowerToys Run 0.99.1 with French and English input locales, then compare it with 0.98.1 to narrow the regression. Done means Win+Space consistently toggles PowerToys Run from Explorer and other windows without changing the input language.
