I have just made a clean installation of Ubuntu.

artful64@artful64:~$ head /etc/apt/sources.list -n2
#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 17.10 _Artful Aardvark_ - Release amd64 (20171018)]/ artful main restricted

During installation I set Russian keyboard layout.
On first login I launched Firefox and accidentally pressed <Alt+Shift>. And it switched the layout. Of course <Super+Space> works too.

But Firefox distracts me if I press <Alt+Shift>. So you have set <Alt+Shift> as layout switcher quietly in Ubiquity (see bug 1242572).

It seems that this is severe bug.
