[Launchpad Bug Tracker <36812@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have Ctrl+Shift set to layout switch and press ctrl+shift+N (to open
new Terminal or new tab in Opera) -- as a result I have my keyboard
layout switched. This happens because Ubuntu (or XOrg?) change layout on
key press instead of release and do not match layout hotkeys with
application shortcuts. MS Windows do. If layout change hotkeys is
pressed with another key this must be treated as application shortcut
and layout must not be changed. Combined with shortcut bugs in some
Linux applications [Bug 2561] this makes keyboard shortcuts nearly
unusable in default bilingual configuration.
