Thank you https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj for your advice. I report this on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/290

However, there are desktop GUIs which provide such tools as well, and in the case of gnome-control- center it has another idea of what /etc/default/keyboard should contain. In short: The different tools don't play well together. The proposed upload does not claim to fix all issues with this incompatibility. But one of the annoyances is that a pure upgrade of the keyboard-configuration package may result in a changed keyboard configuration without the user asking for it. The proposed upload does address that particular issue on desktop systems. [Test Case] 1. On an Ubuntu 18.04 system, make sure that the contents of /etc/default/keyboard is 'the g-c-c style', for instance: XKBLAYOUT=se,us BACKSPACE=guess XKBVARIANT=, 2. Reboot. 3. Upgrade to the version of the keyboard-configuration package in bionic-proposed. => Find that /etc/default/keyboard was not changed through the upgrade. 4. Run the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration => Find that you are now offered to change your keyboard configuration. [Regression Potential] As a result of this upload, and unlike before, no keyboard configuration will happen behind the scenes on a desktop system due to an upgrade of the keyboard-configuration package. This is the desired change, and I can't think of a case when a user would want the configuration to be changed without having asked for it. [Original description] Version: Ubuntu 18.04 Final Beta with default Gnome Shell included in 18.04 Steps to reproduce: 1. Define two keyboard input methods in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources 2. Open several applications 3. Observe that application windows can be iterated with Alt + Tab 4. Once application window iteration was begun with Alt + Tab, try to iterate backwards with Alt + Shift + Tab. 5. Try to change keyboard input method switching hotkeys in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources -> Options. 6. Observe that Keyboard shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is set to "Alt + Shift" and that keyboard shortcuts can only be changed in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts. 7. Observe that the shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is not available for configuration in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Actual state: * Performing step 4 does not select the previous app in application switcher but instead changes keyboard input method. Expected state: * The shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" can be changed and / or deactivated in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Notes: * The above was working fine in Ubuntu 17.10. I assume "Alternative switch to next source" did not exist in that version of Gnome Shell.
