Somehow, I missed this reply.
I see that this setting, being non-working on Linux, creates a wrong idea.
The sole, the only intended function of that "ignore / take into account the
system input language" is: either let the text language be what user set
initially (when ignoring), or each typed character would get the language that
is defined by the "keyboard layout" (system input language). This is EXTREMILY
important; but it still works mainly only on Windows (I guess, that Qt5
integration users who can enjoy it on Linux are the minority). All other
integrations - macOS, KDE, Gnome - miss this functionality (bug 108151). Also
this only works in Writer (bug 34142, bug 127898).

You likely thought that this checkbox has some other function. No; if there is,
it's accidental / unwanted / bug (which you filed, thanks).

Attachment 195059 shows that.
