Title:
  Alternative shortcut for layout switching Alt+Shift unexpectedly set
  by default

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Version: Ubuntu 18.04 Final Beta with default Gnome Shell included in
  18.04

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Define two keyboard input methods in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources
  2. Open several applications
  3. Observe that application windows can be iterated with Alt + Tab
  4. Once application window iteration was begun with Alt + Tab, try to iterate backwards with Alt + Shift + Tab.
  5. Try to change keyboard input method switching hotkeys in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources -> Options.
  6. Observe that Keyboard shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is set to "Alt + Shift" and that keyboard shortcuts can only be changed in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
  7. Observe that the shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is not available for configuration in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

  Actual state:
  * Performing step 4 does not select the previous app in application switcher but instead changes  keyboard input method.

  Expected state:
  * The shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" can be changed and / or deactivated in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

  Notes:
  * The above was working fine in Ubuntu 17.10. I assume "Alternative switch to next source" did not exist in that version of Gnome Shell.
