Is this still an issue in the later versions of Ubuntu (bionic comes to mind)?

I must change a shortcut from A to B and back to A again in order to make it behave properly once again -- until the next reboot. ========== The Setup ============= Using Wubi Intrepid Ibex on a Windows XP newish Lenovo Thinkpad. I installed Ibex using Qwerty, because Wubi doesn't offer an alternative; then I added US Dvorak layout and set it to default in Gnome. My physical keyboard is a Qwerty. I want two keyboard shortcuts: - Ctrl-Shift-F in dvorak (the physical Y key) to open Firefox - Ctrl-Shift-S in dvorak (the physical : key) to open Gnome Terminal I have found that I have to use the physical mapping in the Keyboard Shortcut application for this to work: Ctrl-Shift-Y and Ctrl-Shift-: . I set those, close the Keyboard Shortcut application, and hit the physical Y key (F in dvorak) to open Firefox, and hit the physical : key (S in dvorak) to open Gnome Terminal, and I'm happy enough. ========== The Problem ============ When I reboot my computer, one of the two keyboard shortcuts has moved. The Keyboard Shortcuts app still lists Ctrl-Shift-Y and Ctrl- Shift-: , and pressing the physical Y key still opens Firefox. However, I must press Ctrl-Shift-"physical Z key", which is Dvorak ":", in order to open Gnome Terminal. It's like the Keyboard Shortcuts app understands that Ctrl-Shift-: should now be interpreted as Dvorak, while Ctrl-Shift-Y should be interpreted as Qwerty. If I go into Keyboard Shortcuts and reassign Gnome Terminal to a new hotkey (say Ctrl-Shift-U), close it, reopen it, and reassign Gnome Terminal to Ctrl-Shift-: again, and close it, then I am again able to hit the physical : key (S in dvorak) to open Gnome Terminal.
