This is a reopen of bug #36812, which has reappeared in Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus.
This is a bug about shortcuts mapped to combinations which include each other.
For example, if we have Ctrl+Shift (for keyboard layout) and Ctrl+Shift+N (to open a new terminal), then we are practically unable to use the second shortcut; this is what happens:
Ctrl press (nothing happens)
Shift press (keyboard layout change)
N (a simple N appears, since a shortcut has already fired)
The expected behavior is to fire shortcuts on the release (not on press) of the special keys (ctrl,shift,alt, etc) which is also how Windows behave. This is a serious problem for bilingual layouts, typically using Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift for keyboard layout change.

Apparently, the bug has reappeared after the patch that used to fix the problem (208_switch_ on_release. diff) has been removed from X.Org 1.19 packages. There is an updated patch in the upstream ticket https:/ /bugs.freedeskt op.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 865 (link to the attachment: https:/ /bugs.freedeskt op.org/ attachment. cgi?id= 129861).
