I'm also affected, and I see the following when running "journalctl -lab --follow" and attempting to switch:

Comment 2 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2019-04-17 09:35:21 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 30-final by Fedora user mzink using the blocker tracking app because:

 final - Default shortcut is not working. Affects general desktop user experience.
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2019-04-17 15:03:18 UTC 
Not sure this is a blocker, but +1 FE at least, be nice to fix this in lives for people who use it.

Agreed: -1 blocker, +1 FE
Comment 8 Michael Catanzaro 2019-04-18 19:00:09 UTC 
There was no proposed blocker criterion anyway, and it would be a stretch to apply any of them to this.
Comment 9 Julen Landa Alustiza 2019-04-18 19:24:44 UTC 
-1 blocker +1 fe
Comment 10 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2019-04-19 08:19:03 UTC 
-1 blocker, +1 fe
Comment 11 Adam Williamson 2019-04-19 15:21:44 UTC 
That's enough votes to reject as blocker but accept as FE.
