Bug Description

Hi people! I have a BIG problem with text input in Ukrainian language. When i switch input from English to Ukrainian or use dot it looks like [alt] is pressed continuously after that so if I type some text in Ukrainian i getting lot of ©®ёэ§²•ъ»«ы (special symbols) instead of my text. My keyboard is Ok, it's new Ubuntu 17.10 problem... To temporarily input text as normal I need always press [alt] before input any new portion of text in Ukrainian, this is frustrating and makes me feel bad.

could you change keyboard layout switch combination to something without
ALT (ctrl+shift) ? notify us about behavior.

I'm using default win+space. And this problem happens only sometimes.
