That's the odd part. No alternative shortcut should be set by default
AFAIK. Other observations reported in this bug is expected behavior.

I just checked an (almost) fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04, and there it
was not set. OTOH I just found that it was set on my 18.04 which I
recently upgraded from 17.10. Can't remember that I set it myself (but
I'm not sure; I often play with that kind of settings when providing
support).

Hmm.. I think we need a reproducible use case which confirms this
behavior.

** Summary changed:

- Switching backwards between applications with Alt + Shift + Tab not possible
when using multiple keyboard input methods
+ Alternative shortcut for layout switching Alt+Shift unexpectedly set by
default

Title:
Alternative shortcut for layout switching Alt+Shift unexpectedly set
by default

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed

Bug description:
Version: Ubuntu 18.04 Final Beta with default Gnome Shell included in
18.04

Steps to reproduce:
1. Define two keyboard input methods in Settings -> Region & Language ->
Input Sources
2. Open several applications
3. Observe that application windows can be iterated with Alt + Tab
4. Once application window iteration was begun with Alt + Tab, try to iterate
backwards with Alt + Shift + Tab.
5. Try to change keyboard input method switching hotkeys in Settings ->
Region & Language -> Input Sources -> Options.
6. Observe that Keyboard shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is
set to "Alt + Shift" and that keyboard shortcuts can only be changed in
Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
7. Observe that the shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is not
available for configuration in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard
Shortcuts.

Actual state:
* Performing step 4 does not select the previous app in application switcher
but instead changes keyboard input method.

Expected state:
* The shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" can be changed and /
or deactivated in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

Notes:
* The above was working fine in Ubuntu 17.10. I assume "Alternative switch to
next source" did not exist in that version of Gnome Shell.

@Gunnar re: #6
I can confirm that this particular alternative shortcut can be deactivated with
`gnome-tweaks` by unchecking the checkbox under `Keyboard & Mouse -> Additional
Layout Options -> Switching to another layout -> Alt + Shift`.

@Gunnar re: #6
`Alt + Shift` was set by default with the (in my case) upgrade to 18.04. I
never set this alternative shortcut myself and there is no way to change it
without additional tools. In fact, the entire bug report is about this
alternative shortcut being an issue with the current default value.
