Ctrl+T keyboard shortcut causes typing a letter in the new tab's Omnibox

Reported by giogzir...@gmail.com, Mar 26 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.98 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a new tab and go to a website, like google.com.
2. After the website is loaded, switch the keyboard layout to any layout which uses a non-Latin alphabet in your OS. In my case, it's Georgian (QWERTY), but I've also tried this using a Cyrillic-based layout (Russian (phonetic)) and I was able to replicate the bug in this case as well. (If you don't use any non-Latin alphabet (which is fairly likely), you'll need to add a non-Latin-based keyboard layout in your system first. The instructions vary depended on which desktop environment you use; so, if you don't know how to do it, just google "add keyboard layout <DE>" (where <DE> is the name of your desktop environment).)
3. Press Ctrl+T.

What is the expected behavior?
A new tab opens and its Omnibox is blank.

What went wrong?
A new tab opens and a letter for the T key is typed in the Omnibox.

Did this work before? Yes I don't remember the version number, but this bug appeared very recently, about a week or two ago, I think.

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.98  Channel: stable
OS Version: Manjaro 17 (Gellivara) KDE
Flash Version: Irrelevant

My main system is Manjaro 17 (Gellivara) KDE with KDE Plasma 5.9.3, but I was able to replicate the bug on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus) with Unity 7.4.0 as well. No luck with replicating the bug on Windows 10, so I think it only affects X Window System environments (not sure about the behaviour under Wayland).
 
Forgot to attach a screenshot. This is how it looks like.

The behaviour is the same on Wayland (Fedora 25 with Gnome Shell). Keyboard layout was Bulgarian.
Chrome version: 57.0.2987.110 (64-bit)

Same here as well.

Chromium 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit) on Arch Linux with KDE, Greek keyboard.

Note that this only happens if on the originating tab there is some website loaded; if you are on the "new tab" page and open a new tab, there is no "t" in the Omnibox.

Yes, without the first step, it's not replicable. Also, it doesn't work with Ctrl+N.
