Alt+Shift is for switching input languages (not just RTL/LTR), Ctrl+Shift is
for changing direction. These two are unrelated:

As I said it also works in Notepad, and even flips the side of the scrollbar.
It has the same effect as choosing "Right to left Reading order" from the
context menu.

Then the solution would be to make Ctrl+Shift work on key-up event, similar to
Windows, as now it seems to work on key-down, and so is toggling every time you
try to use some defined Ctrl+Shift+something shortcut.
