I use Ctrl+Shift to change keyboard layout and Ctrl+Shift+v in terminal.
It never was a problem with Unity but now Ctrl+Shift immediately changes language so that I can't use it for other shortcuts. Is there a way to solve this for GNOME without changing those shortcuts?

    This has already been asked before here & here. Looks like there isn't any other solution, see this bug report for details. Best option is to reset those shortcuts and use system defaults, e.g. space, space for layout switching. – pomsky Nov 04 '17 at 15:13

It is known ugly bug - see launchpad bug 1245473.

I'm writing this from Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with MATE DE. It does not have this problem.
I'm using Ctrl+Shift layout switcher for English and Russian languages.
I see no interference here.

But MATE on Ubuntu 17.10 has this problem - see other launchpad bug 1720364.

My complete position is written in comment 528 for bug 1218322 at launchpad.

    I use MATE 17.10 and right ctrl + right shift for input language switch - that stays out of my way because I used left ctrl and left shift as mod keys. MATE provides a lot of options for language switch shortcuts (I realise this may not be at all helpful to you, just wanted to mention in case it's of interest to others) – Zanna Dec 21 '17 at 18:38
