From duplicate bug 1720364 report.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install ubuntu-mate-desktop on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with HWE (Xorg 1.19.5), or 17.10 or 18.04 LTS.
2. Set-up two keyboard layouts - English and Russian
3. Set <Ctrl+Shift> as keyboard layout switcher
4. Try to use shortcuts starting from <Ctrl+Shift>:
4.1. Open Firefox, open new tab, go to some site in it, close tab, try to click <Ctrl+Shift+T> to restore closed tab.
4.2. Open mate-terminal, try to open new tab with <Ctrl+Shift+T>, or copy (<Ctrl+Shift+C>), or paste (<Ctrl+Shift+V>).
4.3. Open pluma, write some text, try to navigate in it with <Ctrl+Shift+arrow>.

Expected results:
<Ctrl+Shift> switches keyboard layout, shortcuts starting from <Ctrl+Shift+...> work normally.

Actual results:
<Ctrl+Shift> switches keyboard layout, shortcuts starting from <Ctrl+Shift+...> do not work.

Notes:
1. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xorg 1.18.4) with Marco and Compton work normally with <Ctrl+Shift> keyboard layout switcher.
2. This problem was discovered before on 13.10, 14.04 and other modern versions with GNOME desktop (Metacity and Compiz) - see bug 1245473.
