Comment 102 for bug 36812

Let just me stress the importance of this bug once more, cause English-speaking users may not readily appreciate it.
A large part of non-English people use at least two keyboard layouts: one for their native language and one for Latin script: web addresses, programming, whatever. A common way to switch layouts (wherever it comes from) is pressing Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift. If you use any of these in Ubuntu, you lose it for all shorcuts. Ctrl-shift arrows don't work, etc etc.
We are talking about huge productivity impairment - the loss of keyboard shortcuts - in all apps systemwide, for whole countries.
