Description Alexey 2013-02-15 06:38:37 UTC 
Don't actually know what is the department for layout switching, so post it in gnome-shell/general

Steps to reproduce:
1. open Empathy chat, for example
2. type some text
3. press Shift+home to select typed text
4. release home but don't release Shift
5. press Alt(for Alt+Shift layout change)
6. layout doesn't change

Expected result: change layout in this case
Comment 1 Alexey 2013-02-15 06:41:45 UTC 
another similar behavior:
1. press some key to continuous typing
2. don't release key and try to Alt+Shift
3. Switching layout failed
Comment 2 Alexey 2013-02-15 06:42:59 UTC 
Very annoying thing when fast chatting on different kb layouts:(

This will get fixed once something like bug 697008 lands.
