Description of problem: After upgrading to Fedora 18 it is not possible it Gnome to choose Shift-Shift as a shortcut for keyboard switching. This way it is not possible to set the same keyboard switching key for both console and XWindows session. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 18 gnome-shell-3.6.2-6.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click layout icon on the top bar 2. Regional and Language settings 3. Choose tab Input Sources 4. Follow link to "Shortcut Settings" tab Typing 5. Click to change "Switch to next source" 6. Push ShiftL-ShiftR (the linux default) or Win-Shift (windows default) or Ctrl-Shift (Windows default for some other countries). Actual results: It is not possible possible to use any of these "well known" combinations for switchin to alternate keyboards. Expected results: I would expect that all these combinations will work as users are used to them and you find them in many guides and it is confusing users.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
