Switching language and the subsequent input of capital letters

Question

Previously, using Ubuntu 16, I pressed Alt+Shift to switch the language, let go of the Alt key, left my finger on the Shift button, and was then able to enter a capital letter.

Now, in Ubuntu 18.04, after using Alt+Shift and releasing the Alt key, lower-case letters continue to be entered, even though the Shift key is being pressed. I have to press it again to enter a capital letter.

I find this terribly inconvenient and very uncomfortable. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same problem. It's very uncomfortable. I filed a bug report on bugtracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1797389. I found a solution to this problem. The problem was with Xorg.

Add this repository: ppa:nrbrtx/xorg-hotkeys

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nrbrtx/xorg-hotkeys

Upgrade the system.
```
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade  
```
Reboot.
```
sudo reboot
```
