Found a workaround for this bug:

1. Install dconf-editor (sudo apt-get install dconf-editor)
2. Go to /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/
3. Select key switch-input-source, turn off "Use default value" and set "Custom 
value" to ['Caps_Lock']
4. (Optional) You can also change value for switch-input-source-backward to 
something like ['<Shift>Caps_Lock'] (again, turning off "Use default value")

Title:
  keyboard panel does not allow to set up Caps as input switch

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:

  Keyboard panel has options for input switching, but it does not allow
  to use Caps as language switch.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. gnome-control-center keyboard
  2. Scroll down to 'Typing' section
  3. Click on Switch to next input source
