Public bug reported: I prefer using Thumb Shift typing method for Japanese input. On keyboards with US layout I use Space key as 'Right Thumb Shift Key', and left Alt key (Alt_L) as 'Left Thumb Shift Key' (well, using Alt key as a Thumb Shift is somewhat tricky - you need to press it not simultaneously with a letter key, but in a fraction of a second later then a letter key to avoid acting Alt as a modifier key, but there is no better alternative on US keyboards). After upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 Alt_L stopped working as 'Left Thumb Shift Key' - trying to press it simply clears my previous input. Control_L works as 'Left Thumb Shift Key', but this variant is unusable, because Control keys are too far from the center of the keyboard to be pressed by thumbs.
