Hello everyone!

After months of switching layouts and banging my head against this bug,
I thought I should check LibreOffice settings (I'm using 4.1.5.3 now).
What figures? I did find something. And in just a few clicks.

This is not a bug! It's simply a matter of configuration.

For the regular keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc.) to remain
operational in LibreOffice applications while using a non-latin keyboard
layout (like Greek or Russian), go to Tools -> Options -> Language
Settings -> Languages, check the Ignore system input language option,
save, and Bob's your uncle.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

PS
Technically, though, shortcuts still remain language-dependent. This means if you enable this option, you will have to set your document languages manually.

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.
