[Bug 1365469] [NEW] Unity prevents usage of "Super R" as "Switch to next source" keyboard shortcut

 

Public bug reported:

I set "Super R" key as my shortcut to change keyboard layouts. See
attached screenshot.

What happens:

Whenever I press "Super R" key, Unity intercepts it and use it to open
the Dash. I haven't found any options in Unity Tweak Tool or Compiz
Settings Manager to prevent Unity from doing this. Aforementioned
utilities do not distinguish between Left Super and Right Super keys.

Expected behavior:
Unity should use only left Super key for opening the Dash.
