Does it also happen in safe mode, for example with lightning disabled?

This does happen in safe mode as well.

Andre, does comment 12 help?

Comment 7

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

Reported against Linux, and confirmed recently by Aleca (bug 1625263 comment 45):

Shift+Ctrl+A upload shortcut not working on Linux when the body has the focus
Which looks exactly like symptoms of Bug 269228 - Ctrl+Shift+[0-9a-f] Shortcuts on text fields aren't accepted in GTK (shift+ctrl keys don't work) --> duplicate
