 Thank you for reply, but the solution to not fix the bug is not a solution I think.

Could you please find another operating system (enterprise-grade or mature) in which user can not combine keyboard layout switching hotkeys with some other key (part of global shortcut)?
If you need an example I have it - restoring recently closed tab in Firefox has cross-platform shortcut <Ctrl+Shift+T>, which do not interfere with <Ctrl+Shift> layout-switcher on any platform.

It works as expected on MS Windows, it works on Ubuntu 12.04 (with GNOME 3.4.2!), 14.04 (only in Unity session), but it do not work in other modern distros. I think it works as expected in Mac OS X too.
As you can see on launchpad page - 30 users finds this functionality essential.

Why you think that GNOME/Xorg/whatever is unique to ignore this functionality? :)
