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 !

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.
