--- Comment #63 from Adam Purkrt <adam at purkrt.net> ---
Fwiw, the problem with ctrl+shift+something shortcuts not working when
ctrl+shift is used for keyboard layout switching is a bug of xorg, not xfce,
see
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/issues/258 (migrated version)
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 (better readable)
xorg handles keyboard layout switching, not xfce (xfce just sets the shortcuts
of the xkb extension). The xkb extension standard would have to be extended and
the x server extension changed accordingly for a fix. No one has done in the 15
years that bug stands.

Anyhow I understand the original bug here - isolated press and release of super
key (winkey) is a well defined act that does not hinder the use of super as a
modifier (pressing additional key with super already pressed cancels the act of
isolated press and release of super).
