Bug Description

Open System Settings, choose Region & Language, select Text Entry tab.

Select any input source language, click into 'Switch to next source using:'. Text in edit box changes to 'New accelerator...'

Pressing Alt+Shift, both both Shifts or Alts or any sensible combination won't get picked up, but changes back to default (Super+Space).
Sometimes though, the shortcut is Mod4+Super+Hyper+Space (I'm kinda missing Endless in front of Space).

As a side effect when switching layout, the Keyboard Shortcuts window is displayed every time Super is pressed
