I've upgraded from previous versions where I had Alt+Shift as the shortcut 
toggling between English and Hungarian. Now, not being to specify this, I chose 
Ctrl+Space. The current behavior is:
- If I select English in the indicator or via Ctrl+Space then the layout is 
English, and Alt+Shift does nothing.
- If I select Hungarian in the indicator or via Ctrl+Space then the layout is 
initially Hungarian but Alt+Shift toggles between En and Hu, but without 
updating the indicator.
Total chaos.

In Text Entry Settings, if I press the Windows key plus Space, I get
"Mod4+Super+Hyper+Space" displayed -- what the heck??? Mod4 and Hyper,
what the hell are those, and why aren't they shown on the Keyboard
Layout Chart, and why does the dialog claim I pressed them? And how do I
revert to the previous value which was simply Super+Space?

Moreover, Ctrl+Space (my currently specified shortcut) only works if I
press Ctrl, press Space, release Space and finally release Ctrl in this
order. If I release the two keys in reverse order (which is way more
natural for me as my hand quickly rolls over the two keys, rather than
stopping and moving backwards) then it doesn't work. Yet again a total
usability failure.

This whole thing is a complete disaster :(

Title:
  Can't set keyboard layout change to ctrl+shift

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “indicator-keyboard” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Can't set keyboard layout change to ctrl+shift, Caps Lock, alt+shift
  etc. "Shift", "CapsLock" keys are just ignored in settings. Also the
  default shortcut was set to "Super+Space" that is inconveniently,
  because Dash is opening when you swich your keyboard layout.
