[#13966] - Language - switch back

- Build: Joomla! 3.6.5 Stable
- # 13966
Steps to reproduce the issue
I open the home page of my website and change the language from german to italian using the link displayed by the language module. Now I close the browser tab an reopen my website in a new tab. The website appears immediately in italian, as this is the language I had selected before.
Now, if I want to change the language back to german, this isn't working anymore. Even if I manually type in www.domain.com/de I always get redirected to www.domain.com/it.
However, it works if I type in the address www.domain.com/de/index.php. This behaviour apperas only on the home page and only if in the System - Language Filter-settings I set Remove URL Language Code to Yes (URL-Rewrite with standard .htaccess-file is activated)
System information (as much as possible)
Webserver: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)

Default language is german (de-DE)
No, the user is not logged in.
SEF is on, as well as URL Rewriting with Joomlas standard .htaccess-file
Adds Suffix to URL is set to NO
Unicode Aliases is set to NO
System languagefilter-Plugin:

The problem happens only when I change the language on the start page (www.domain.com/it back to www.domain.com). On all other pages (www.domain.com/it/example to www.domain.com/example) the switching works fine.

Thank you for testing. Strange. Yes, the problem occurs on Firefox 51 (32-Bit), Chrome 56 and Opera. I tested it on two different templates (including Beez3), on two different server and on two different PCs with different operating systems (Windows 8.1 and Windows 10). There are no external plugins installed.

I can't reproduce your issue.
What is your site default language?
Is the user logged in? In this case, what is the site default language for the user?
Is SEF on?
Is Use URL Rewriting on?
Are you using .htaccess ?
