Bug Description

I've got two keyboard layouts installed: Greek and English (UK). This bug is reproduced if I:

0. have a greek keyboard layout enabled
1. create new folder with ctrl+shift+n in Files
2. start typing a folder name.
3. delete the (Greek) characters I entered with backspace.
4. switch to a us UK keyboard layout
5. type something in English and push Enter
6. folder name reverts to untitled folder/untitled folder x.

affects: appcenter → pantheon-files

In the current version, changing the keyboard layout/input method using Ctrl-Space causes renaming to end as if Enter had been pressed. If all the name has been deleted then it will revert to the original name.

I have marked this as affecting Gala after a discussion on Slack concluding that this behaviour seems to be systematic within the context of hotkeys (I have tested with switching keyboard layouts and media hotkeys like "next song"), and Jeremy says he's noticed this affecting Photos too.
