(In reply to Stas Sergeev from comment #23)
I noticed another problem.
When I type, the layout ocasionally changes back
to EN, even though I do not press the modifier combo.
The switcher applet still shows RU, but the typing
becomes latinic.
Presumably this happens after Shift-Space, but again,
not always... So we have another puzzle. I wonder if
you can make a sharp guess or reproduce that...
You are switching between table mode ("rusle") and direct input mode
(using the underlying keyboard layout directly).
The hotkey for this is the left shift key (Without space, just
left shift and release it).
You can see which mode you are in if you open the input method menu in
the gnome panel while rusle is active. Look at the 4 menu entries near
the bottom:
Direct input (Left Shift)
Phrase mode (Ctrl-;) <- quite useless for rusle
Direct commit mode (Ctrl-/) <- quite useless for rusle
Setup
If you hit the left shift key and look again, you see that the topmost
of these "property" menus toggles between
Direct input (Left Shift) <-> Р (Left Shift)
I am not sure what I can do about this now.
For Chinese, this is used often as a quick way to toggle between
Chinese and English mode (faster than switching between two input
sources). That might be the reason why the original developer of
ibus-table did choose the left shift key as the hot key for that.
The disadvantage is of course that the left shift key can be hit far
too easily.
In the long run, I want to make the keybindings configurable, then
you could set that keybinding to empty. But I have no time for that
soon, that is a bit more work.
Choosing a different shortcut is not nice to existing users.
Disabling that shortcut for non-CJK input methods might also be
not so nice. Maybe one wants to quickly toggle between direct
input and a non-CJK input method as well.
So I am a bit puzzled what to do about this now.
Maybe wait until I have time to make the keybindings configurable?

Maybe I have no other option than to agree with this? :)
Anyway, another sharp guess, you are right, left shift
is the culprit. Thank you.
So, should I open a separate report for this or what?

Yes, I think a separate bug report is helpful so I do not forget this.
Maybe, as a temporary workaround, I disable that hotkey for non-CJK
and enable it again as soon as the hotkeys are configurable.
I really should make the hotkeys configurable ...
