Can't set keyboard layout change to Shift+Shift

[Norbert]

In Ubuntu 12.04 I was able to set keyboard layout switching shortcut to Shift+Shift.
In Ubuntu 13.10 I can't set it from gnome-control-center keyboard.

For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322.

Installed packages from ppa:attente/1218322
(
gnome-control-center 3.6.3-0ubuntu45ppa1
gnome-control-center-data 3.6.3-0ubuntu45ppa1
libgnome-control-center1 3.6.3-0ubuntu45ppa1
)
Now I can set Shift+Shift (indicates as Shift+Shift R) and use them.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can say that this has been fixed with package version 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.1 from the proposed repository. I'm following the same information as the original bug and tagging this one as verification-done.
I tested it in various applications and all works flawlessly.

Thank you for your bug report, is that still an issue with the current SRU versions?

With latest packages (gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.1, gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1.) Shift+Shift works.

With latest packages (gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.1, gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1.) Shift+Shift still does not work for me. When I try to set it in thecontrol panel UI, it sets it as 'Disabled'.

Also, even though it's marked as Disabled in the control panel, the keyboard indicator applet still changes between the two sources when Shift+Shift are pressed - however, the source doesn't actually change - so regardless of what is displayed in the indicator, it keeps typing in the original source. It seems I have to grab the mouse and change the layout using the keyboard indicator, which is fairly frustrating/confusing.

Another unusual behaviour is that, despite only having 'US International' and 'Thai' chosen for layouts in the control panel, I seem to randomly end up in a UK layout (shift-3 being a UK pound sign), and have to grab for the mouse again to get back to US. I have language set to 'English (United Kingdom)'), but that should not affect the keyboard layout, should it? Can anyone shed any light on this unexpected behaviour?
