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

This is definitely a new regression for me in 18.04, I didn't suffer from it before. Judging by the large numbers of new comments from 18.04 users, this is likely the case for others as well.
Is there some way to signal this in the bug flags/metadata?

(I tried to report a new 18.04 specific bug but it was marked a
duplicate to this 2015 bug)

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.
