[Norbert <1245473@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Made a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 beta2 (
4cf9e5ef2c1c362317c90312c76cfda0 *ubuntu-14.04-beta2-desktop-i386.iso).

There is a big problem with shortcuts, which start from Ctrl+Shift if layout switching key is set to Ctrl+Shift in GNOME sessions (Compiz and Metacity):
1. I can't copy and paste text in gnome-terminal with Ctrl+Shift+C/V
2. I can't make Screenshot of desired area to clipboard with Ctrl+Shift+PrintScreen
3. I can't select text with Ctrl+Shift+arrows in gedit
4. I can't select text with Ctrl+Shift+arrows in LibreOffice Writer

Please fix these bugs before Ubuntu 14.04 final release.

You can see all non-latin shortcut problems in my Google Docs table
(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao5e713Ig9g_dEJrX2NRYlpLWWVzSWxsVXU4ck9HYVE&usp=sharing
, Sheet "!!! Non-latin shortcuts (14.04)").

Title:
  Binding ctrl+shift, alt+shift, etc for switching keyboard layout makes
  shortcuts with ctrl+shift, etc not working in any program

Status in Gnome Settings Daemon:
  Won't Fix
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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)
