Description Марко Костић (Marko Kostić) 2015-10-25 16:55:13 UTC 
If a user sets Alt+Shift as a shortcut for "Modifiers-only switch to next source" (which is a very popular shortcut), he won't be able to screencast his Gnome Session because the default screencasting shortcut is "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R".

Maybe throw a warning that screencasting will be unavailable if Alt+Shift is being selected as a shortcut?

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
