Bug exists in Ubuntu 15.04 final, Ctrl+Shift as layout switch (English and Russian).
I unable to use <Ctrl+Shift+arrows> for text selection and <Ctrl+Shift+T> in Firefox, <Ctrl+Shift+PrintScreen> in the following sessions:
* GNOME Session (Metacity)
* GNOME Session (Compiz)

All these shortcuts work as expected in Unity.

Bug description:
  Tried only with ctrl+shift, maybe behaves the same for other modifier
  key combinations when used as shortcut for switching layouts.

  - Set ctrl+shift as shortcut for switching keyboard layouts
  - Try to use ctrl+shift+v, ctrl+shift+c in Terminal -- it doesn't work (actually Terminal window loses focus when ctrl+shift is pressed, and layout is switched)
