** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
- Can't set keyboard layout change to ctrl+shift, Caps Lock, alt+shift
- etc. "Shift", "CapsLock" keys are just ignored in settings.
+ Can't set keyboard layout change to Ctrl+Shift, Caps Lock, Alt+Shift,
+ etc. Shift, Caps Lock keys are just ignored in settings.
  
  [Test Case]
  
  - open gnome-control-center's text input settings
  - click on the "next layout key" entry
  - try entering a combination of two modifier keys such as Ctrl+Shift
  -> the UI should reflect the new keys
  
  - add at least two input sources through gnome-control-center's text entry settings
- - press and release ctrl+left shift
+ - press and release Ctrl+Shift
  -> the current input source should change
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  That UI was not working before, it should only be an improvement (some
  key combos are not working as expected, that's another issue and
  shouldn't be mixed with this one)
  
  The input switching shortcut might capture other non-modifier shortcuts,
  but users will need to consider this when choosing their switching
  shortcut anyways. For users this bug affects, this represents a working
  solution for a critical bug.
