/usr/bin/setxkbmap -layout "us,ru" -option "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" -- this seems works like expected.

Yes, this is still issue:

1. does not work: /usr/bin/setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc105 -layout us,ru -option "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
2. works for me: /usr/bin/setxkbmap -layout "us,ru" -option "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

Plrase give more detailed instructions how to do this ?
Comment by Andreas Radke (AndyRTR) - Wednesday, 21 February 2018, 12:59 GMT
You may ask first at the Xorg irc channels or search/file an upstream bug to the fdo tracker: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi - not sure what component might be the culprint here (App/setxkbmap or main Xorg server?)

You should also try to git bisect your bug.
