You have been subscribed to a public bug by Nick Andrik (andrikos): I have Ctrl+Shift set to layout switch and press ctrl+shift+N (to open new Terminal or new tab in Opera) -- as a result I have my keyboard layout switched. This happens because Ubuntu (or XOrg?) change layout on key press instead of release and do not match layout hotkeys with application shortcuts. MS Windows do. If layout change hotkeys is pressed with another key this must be treated as application shortcut and layout must not be changed. Combined with shortcut bugs in some Linux applications [Bug 2561] this makes keyboard shortcuts nearly unusable in default bilingual configuration.
