My guess is that this bug is stuck at the point where the patch needs extensive and explicit testing.

Some users tested this on their system, however they should to come up with a more rigorous description of what they have tested.

Things to test would include
1. Describe which shortcut you use to switch layouts (Alt+Shift, Shift+Shift, etc)
2. Mention outcome when using with Firefox, OpenOffice, Inkscape, some GTK+ and QT apps.
3. Is there any problem when using IBus? Check the shortcuts that activate/deactivate/switch layout in IBus.
4. how long you have been using your Linux with this patch applied.
5. GTK+ allows to type arbitrary Unicode characters with Ctrl+Shift+u <HEX codepoint>. Does this continue to work?
6. An important test case is to use Inkscape and switch layouts with Alt+Shift. Presumably, Alt+Shift+xyz is a type of valid shortcuts in Inkscape, and affected by this bug. Is this now solved?
