Select Input Method Crash

Hello everyone,

I have surprisingly been encountering a certain uncomfortable misbehaviour with my Samsung Galaxy SII device.
Not to talk too much about it, I have recorded a video of the issue:
/watch?v=wtVSq5OSFEQ (youtube).

As you can see, the "Select input method" window seems to "crash" everytime I open it, and I always have to do the long trip to the settings to switch to the desirable input method.
And since I switch keyboards quite often, it's irritating.

Maybe some of you will ask me what I did before this started to happen, but I don't really know, so maybe I'll sort it out with your help. However, this bug is not:
-Because of the app in the video, the app used is a random choice.
-Because of a recent system update.
It runs the default 4.1.2 Android ROM.

Thanks for your future assistance,
Adnan.

PS: Just if you're baffled that there's no keyboard in the video, I was using my computer's keyboard as a wireless keyboard.

PS2: I asked this on another forum, but this one seems to be more Android-centered. I have just registered, I hope you'll all be easy on me ! I hope not to be suggested to do a complete wipe of the phone as in the other forums, however if it remains the only solution then, well.
