Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 17.10 from final ISO-image (cdrom:[Ubuntu 17.10 _Artful Aardvark_ - Release amd64 (20171018)]), select Russian keyboard layout on installation
3. Boot into installed system and log-in
4. Try to change keyboard layout - what is interesting both keyboard shortcuts - <Alt+Shift> and <Super+Space> switch layouts.
5. Open Firefox
6. Change keyboard layout with <Alt+Shift>
Expected results:
* keyboard layout is switched, Firefox does not react on keyboard layout switching
Actual results:
* during switching of keyboard layout (on clicking <Alt> key) Firefox shows its mnemonics (underlines in menu) and distracts user. After pressing <Shift> key keyboard layout is switched, but focus is placed on Firefox menubar. So user needs to change the focus with keyboard (for example <Esc> key) or mouse click.
Notes:
It seems that <Alt+Shift> keyboard layout switcher was quietly set in Ubiquity (see bug 1242572).

Original bug description below:
I'm on Ubuntu 17.10 with artful-proposed enabled.
Changing keyboard layout with alt+shift always triggers "show menu"on Wayland, which makes firefox unusable for users who don't know how to disable the value "ui.key.
Is there any fix? Or maybe you can set "ui.key.
