Hi, Pedro!

Thank you for your interest in this bug.

Yes, it is still an issue with Natty.

When the layout order [en, ru] and current layout = ru, then Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V and other shortcuts are working fine.
However, When the layout order is reverse [ru, en] and current layout = ru, then Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V and other shortcuts are not working. I have to switch current layout = en to make it work.

It was rather annoying actually. For instance, when in clipboard there is some secret and you chat with someone. Then you want to copy-paste something to the correspondent. You press Ctrl-C somewhere (but it didn't work). Then in the chat program you press Ctrl-Ins (which is working) and immediately press enter. Just to see that you've sent something wrong...

These days I use [en, ru] layout order which doesn't have this issue. However I have to switch to [ru] everytime (because most of the time I obviously use russian layout).

Hope this helps.

P.S. I believe this bug could affect more people. But it is difficult to express it in a "google-way" and the workaround is not straightforward. So that people cannot find or discover both the workaround and this bug description. And they still suffer...
