Bug Description
While switching keyboard layout with alt+shift and upressing alt (while shift is still pressed) the next character will be typed in lower case, not in upper, i.e. shift is not registered as pressed while it is pressed. It's very annoying since I found out that I often switching layout just to press '?' in english in the middle of finishing sentence without unpressing shift and after update this workflow is broken. Bug appeared after an update from 1.18 to 1.19.
Since as I know ubuntu applies some patches against 865 bug it can be ubuntu-specific.
Distro: Ubuntu 16.04
Xorg version: 1.19.3 (hwe-16.04)
