Switching tab with "Cmd + [" short cut only useable when input source is in English on OSX

Reported by varsha...@gmail.com, Mar 8 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3035.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Chromium on OSX
2. Open a few tabs
3. Change input source to any language other than English
4. Press "Cmd + [" or "Cmd + ]" to jump back and forth between tabs

What is the expected behavior?
The browser should jump back and forth when "Cmd + [" is pressed regardless of  input source

What went wrong?
The browser doesn't jump to the next and previous tab as expected when "Cmd + ]" is pressed on OSX.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 59.0.3035.0  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.12.3
Flash Version: 

Key combinations of "Cmd + [" and "Cmd + ]" aren't documented in the Mac's section of "Chrome keyboard shortcuts" (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/157179?hl=en).

The same issue with this keyboard shortcut: "Cmd + Shift + ]" and "Cmd + Shift + [".
By default this shortcut is used for jump to the next/previous open tab in various applications like Terminal.app, Safari and so on.

This shortcut also works in Chrome but only when English keyboard layout is chosen. If any other other keyboard layout is chosen (Russian, Japanese) this shortcut is not working.

Hello
I recently fixed this issue for dvorak/dvorak-QWERTY: 
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=811921

The fix generalizes to some, but not all non-english keyboards. I'm not sure there is a general solution. 

If there is a specific example: [please specify keyboard shortcut + keyboard] that works in Safari but not the latest Chrome, please post it here.
