Bug Description

I typing text in application (Google Chrome for example)... I switch layout (using Ctrl+Shift) and continue typing, but application parses my text as shorcuts (opens new tabs and windows, show dialogs etc.). So I need press&release Ctrl again to unstick it and retype last symbols again.
This is regression in Natty.

The same situation with switching layout by Alt-Shift. Some times also other keys stick. For example, after switching windows with Alt-Tab and both keys released the system works like Tab is pressed. And needed to press and release the key. (And undo last operation in LibreOffice.Writer to remove lots of "typed" tabs :) ).
Some time happened in Maverick, very often happens in Natty.

Currently, I am not. But I do not use Ubuntu so long time as previous release. So I post final answer later.
