[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1201679@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e) has assigned this bug to you for unity in Ubuntu:

1. Add the ubuntu-desktop PPA on Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy"
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install indicator-keyboard
2. Log out and log back in.
2. Open System Settings>Region & Language
3. Switch to the Text Entry tab.
4. Click the + button to add at least two more keyboard layouts.
5. Log out and log back in.
6. Try to use the (new) default Super+Space keyboard shortcut to switch between keyboard layouts.

What happens
-------------------
Usually, Super+Space is ignored. It worked for me once on login but every other time I tested it didn't work.
It works fine in GNOME Shell but not in Unity.

gsettings reset org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys switch-input-source
seems to be enough to nudge Unity into respecting the Super+Space keyboard shortcut.

My guess is that Unity is too aggressive in binding the Super key to
itself.

Workaround
-----------------
Shift+Super+Space, the keyboard shortcut to switch backward between keyboard layouts works.
