ֹUnsure if this is the same bug or even related; however, the issue
persists with the Hebrew keyboard layout (while absent in (a) other
Hebrew layouts (lyx, phoenetic) (b) other languages, including RTL
(Russian, Arabic tested)).

Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit
Unity 7.1.2
LibreOffice 4.2.0.4

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add Hebrew keyboard layout.
2. Open Writer.
3. Switch to Hebrew layout.
4. Type a string.
5. Attempt to use CTL+A/C/V/X.

Bug description:
  New keyboard layout changer in Ubuntu 13.10 introduce  old-new bug. Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout.
  Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly.

  Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system
  parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard
  layout.

  Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non-
  latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead
  of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with
  english layout.  If you use english and two different non-latin
  layouts this workaround helps only with one of them.

  For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322.
