I've updated to Neon unstable, and now I get that too - and I don't like it at
all, not even a bit: layout switching is something that you should be able to
do very quickly, while typing long texts - when mixing English and non-English
text (which is very common these days in many non-English contexts).

If I press ALT+SHIFT quickly and release quickly, often I release the ALT
before the shift and I get the layout switched while opening the application
launcher (I have per-window layout switching, so the layout is switched for the
launcher and not the windows I'm working on); while if I press quickly and
trigger SHIFT first - I get the launcher open and no layout switching (this is
less common because of how I trigger the keys with the thumb on ALT and pinky
on SHIFT so the pinky needs to travel more and is slower - but it does happen
from time to time).

If the issue is just the xmodmap - why did the behavior change from 6.1 to 6.2?
The 6.2 behavior makes ALT+SHIFT layout switching (which is the most common
switching workflow due to legacy operating systems) to be almost unusable. One
has to now be very deliberate about pressing ALT+SHIFT.
