Bug description:
From duplicate bug 1720364 report.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install ubuntu-mate-desktop on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with HWE (Xorg 1.19.5), or
17.10 or 18.04 LTS.
2. Set-up two keyboard layouts - English and Russian
3. Set <Ctrl+Shift> as keyboard layout switcher in mate-control-center
4. Try to use shortcuts starting from <Ctrl+Shift>:
4.1. Open Firefox, open new tab, go to some site in it, close tab, try to
click <Ctrl+Shift+T> to restore closed tab.
4.2. Open mate-terminal, try to open new tab with <Ctrl+Shift+T>, or copy
(<Ctrl+Shift+C>), or paste (<Ctrl+Shift+V>).
4.3. Open pluma, write some text, try to navigate in it with
<Ctrl+Shift+arrow>.
Expected results:
<Ctrl+Shift> switches keyboard layout, shortcuts starting from
<Ctrl+Shift+...> work normally.
Actual results:
<Ctrl+Shift> switches keyboard layout, shortcuts starting from
<Ctrl+Shift+...> do not work.
Notes:
1. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xorg 1.18.4) with Marco and Compton work normally with
<Ctrl+Shift> keyboard layout switcher.
2. This problem was discovered before on 13.10, 14.04 and other modern
versions with GNOME desktop (Metacity and Compiz) - see bug 1245473.

Original description below:
This is a reopen of bug #36812, which has reappeared in Kubuntu 17.04
Zesty Zapus.
This is a bug about shortcuts mapped to combinations which include
each other.
For example, if we have Ctrl+Shift (for keyboard layout) and Ctrl+Shift+N (to
open a new terminal), then we are practically unable to use the second
shortcut; this is what happens:
Ctrl press (nothing happens)
Shift press (keyboard layout change)
N (a simple N appears, since a shortcut has already fired)
The expected behavior is to fire shortcuts on the release (not on
press) of the special keys (ctrl,shift,alt, etc) which is also how
Windows behave. This is a serious problem for bilingual layouts,
typically using Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift for keyboard layout change.
Apparently, the bug has reappeared after the patch that used to fix
the problem (208_switch_on_release.diff) has been removed from X.Org
1.19 packages. There is an updated patch in the upstream ticket
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 (link to the
attachment: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=129861).
