Cannot unset `alt+shift` keyboard layout switching shortcut from layout switching options

Created attachment 342569 [details] Screenshots of involved panels Hey, this is Debian stretch speaking, After my latest `sudo apt-get upgrade` I had this edit made to my `/etc/default/keyboard`: + BACKSPACE="guess" + XKBMODEL="pc105" + XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" And this key had also been modified: $ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options ['grp:alt_shift_toggle','grp_led:scroll'] As a consequence, the combination `alt+shift` started switching my keyboard layout instead of triggering my custom `xbindkeys` shortcuts, a problem I have described and finally solved on [this Stack post](http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/333368). The thing is that I have not been able to revert those changes using Gnome Interface: - Settings -> Region and Language -> options (screenshot 01) tells me that I may edit these shortcuts in the "keyboard settings", but disabling the switch shortcuts in.. - Settings -> Keyboard -> Typing (screenshot 02) .. had no effect on `alt+shift` behaviour. By the way, this shortcut is set nowhere else in this panel. Since I've found it misleading not being able to unset this shortcut in a panel obviously relevant regarding keyboard layout switching, I am offering it as a bug. Thank you for support anyway, and happy 2017 to y'all ! -- Iago-lito
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.
