Keyboard shortcuts stop working when using multiple keyboard layouts on Ubuntu

By shortcuts I mean ctrl+t, ctrl+w, even ctrl+c and ctrl+v. They all stop working when I set more than one keyboard layout on Ubuntu (for instance "USA Alternative Intl" and USA). I'm running Firefox 14.0.1 and Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Nope, that did not fix it, Vlad. I've also tried Firefox 15 beta and the problem happens there too. Any other ideas? Where should I report a bug about this? Thank you.
