Ubuntu 12.04 was not more stable then 12.10 or 13.04. It's even not claimed to be more stable by Canonical, as it's just long term support. Many applications of older versions aren't usable for real  tasks. I can name some examples. GIMP 2.6 (from 12.04) has no layer groups support, so it was completely useless to open PSD-files. OwnCloud 5.0.4 (also from 12.04) has some deal-breaking bugs and known vulnerabilities, making it completely unusable. And the same for ownCloud client. LibreOffice 1.3 is one more example, it's not usable on some complex files. We use OS not for itself but for applications, so LTS is not a solution at all. In other words we need stable base system and fresh applications, but  there is no such a choice for Ubuntu.

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.

  For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322.
