Bug Description

 affects unity
 status new

Unity's handling of Ctrl+Super+X keybindings has regressed in trusty -- Control
must be pressed before Super is pressed, or Unity hijacks the keybinding
instead.

For example:
1. Press and hold Control
2. Press and hold Super
3. Press 1

This activates the Ctrl+Super+1 keybinding, which for me is Zoom reset (from the ezoom plugin).

However, if you reverse steps 1 and 2, so that Super is held down before
Control, then the keybinding for Super+1 is activated instead, i.e. the first
item in the launcher gets activated.

This bug used to be present in older versions of Unity, but was fixed in Saucy,
and reappeared in Trusty.

Seems to work fine in 14.10. Can you test again (14.04 and 14.10)?
