Public bug reported:

Set the next text entry source shortcut key (System Settings -> Text
Entry) to "Shift + Shift R", i.e., pressing both shifts together.

With this setting, some input entries have problems with pressing the
Shift key inside: I experienced errors with gedit's find input entry,
nemo's file rename in-place edit entry and firefox's in-place edit entry
when renaming a Google Sheet's tab.

I refer to the detailed description and how it is reproducible in the
following bug report:

Since upgrading my Ubuntu box to 14.04 from 13.10, I have encountered with this weird behavior.

I can reproduce the error with the following scenario:

start nemo
press shift-ctrl-n to create a folder. A new folder with 'Untitled Folder' created, the name is selected as an editbox to rename it.
press shift-ctrl again. The order is important -- shift before, ctrl after. The selection goes away, and now the folder 'Untitled Folder' itself is selected.
after that, you cannot cut or copy -- neither with keyboard shortcut, neither with menu items. As nemo visually gives feedback upon cutting a file, I can see that the cut action is not performed.

Alternatively, you can simply try to enter an uppercase letter in the
rename edit box -- i.e., press shift-A. The character is not inserted,
the rename action is finished, and copy-paste does not work.

nemo version: 2.4.4-2~webupd8~trusty0

I have found the triggering condition on my box: I have set the next text entry source shortcut key (System Settings -> Text Entry) to "Shift + Shift R", i.e., pressing both shifts together. If I remove this shortcut, then the problem disappears.

Possibly this (already closed) one was also connected with this issue, and was fixed by some other workaround:
