This sounds similar to bug #837456, with the new twist of having it happen on 
modifier presses instead of all keys. Can you confirm the us layout is active 
after the qwerty switch?
$ setxkbmap -query
$ setxkbmap -print

Does
$ setxkbmap fr
fix the problem temporarily?
(assuming French keyboard. Change "fr" to whatever keyboard map you actually 
use.)

What version of OS and Onboard are you running?
$ cat /etc/issue
$ apt-cache policy onboard

Title:
  FR Keyboard layout not retained

Status in “onboard” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Whenever I shift or AltGr in order to select from that set, the layout
  reverts from azerty to qwerty and cannot be restored to azerty until
  restarted.

  
  When selecting  AT, zero, closing square bracket, <sup>o</sup>, plus, closing 
suare bracket, etc. requiring Shift or AltGr the qwerty equivalent of the 
keystroke appears and qwerty layout remains.

  This is a FUJITSU SIEMENS AMILO L7310/8650
