[Bug 520546] Re: Alt-f2 switches to virtual terminal 2

[granjerox]

Hello I've notice this strange behabiour a few days ago.

Here my setup:
- Dell XPS 13 first gen
- Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 up to date

Every alt+Fx changes to virtual terminals, win+left or right also. But
its not like control is pressed.

By the way alt+f2 brings back to GUI. And alt+f4 changes to virtual 4
and same time closes active window ... a real nightmare.

I havent narrow down the trigger but if I restart it gets solved and
returns from time to time.

I, like most linux users, love keyboard shortcut and there ara a few
with alt+fx.

Is this bug being tracked somewhere else?

Title:
  Alt-f2 switches to virtual terminal 2

Status in console-cyrillic package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm running Ubuntu Lucid development branch.

  Pressing alt-f2 switches the screen to the second virtual terminal.
  Alt-f3 does the same to the third and so on. I expected alt-f2 to open
  the run dialog.

  I'm pretty sure that my keyboard is not malfunctioning as I can use
  all my applications normally. (Pressing O and Ctrl-O do not have the
  same effect.)

  I'm not sure which package I should file this bug against. I'll
  happily do an apport-collect once I know.
