I'm not sure this is a bug. In Ubuntu 17.10 the login screen is ALWAYS
running on VT #1, which you will reach with Ctrl+Alt+F1. That does not
mean it's closed anything though. Try Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get back to your
session (running on VT #2) with the programs still running.

Title:
ctrl-alt-f1 closes all running programs
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10 artful when I go to tty via alt-
ctrl-f1, I am presented with a gdm3 login screen. This in and of
itself is OK, as long as it's a lock screen. But it's not - all of my
running programs were closed(most of them without saving).
This makes the desktop behave similar to a phone, so I could see this
as being a potential feature to some...but for those of us running
servers and all kinds of programs, with 1000s of tabs open...it's kind
of an abrupt surprise to enable by default
end result
actual behaviour:
alt-ctrl-f1 logs out & closes all running applications
desired behaviour:
alt-ctrl-f1 either does nothing (if you are on tty 1) or locks the screen,
does not close all running applications.
