[Bug 1470130] [NEW] Modifier keys don't change keyboard layout

 

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

I am unable to change keyboard layouts with the help of modifier
shortcuts assigned from the list. Most frequently I used to use only
Right Shift for layout switching, but tested also all the other options
from the menu and none of them work.

This has major impact on users using multiple keyboard layouts (myself
using up to 5 typically) and switching between them quickly is
important.

Though there are bug reports for earlier versions also, some of them
marked as "Fix Released", the issue persists in Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 w/
GNOME 3.14.

[Test Case]

Fire up GNOME Control Centre > Keyboard settings > Change options for
layout switching using modifier keys (pop-up menu appears) > add desired
function
