This bug made using emacs and IntelliJ Idea a nuisance. I found a simple
workaround.

=1=
You can verify how ALT and SHIFT are not being detected simultaneously by
running
$ xkbwatch
Notice how the blinky lights change for ALT and for SHIFT but not for
both at the same time.
=2=
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: us,us,us
variant: ,intl,
options: grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS IS THE PROBLEM
=3=
We will now unset ALT-SHIFT toggle.
$ setxkbmap -option -option grp_led:scroll
^^^^^^^
DELIBERATELY EMPTY
The first empty -option erases all options, the second one just carries
over an option we want to keep. Additional -option clauses can preserve
other preexisting options.
I can still change to next/previous input source with whatever is
configured in Settings/Keyboard/Typing
=4=
Do step =2= again and notice how ALT and SHIFT now play together
simultaneously.
I am now a happy Emacs and IntelliJ user. This is a single command
workaround.
