I did some QA-testing using the 2019-09-12 daily image of 19.10 and didn't notice any issues with virtual terminals (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/404/builds/199233/testcases/1303/results/).
I used in testing - dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/7350/8350) - hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600) and just booted the same 2019-09-12 image on - dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550) - lenovo thinkpad x201 (i5-m520, 4gb, i915) and get virtual terminals. As I use ctrl+alt+f4 & ctrl+alt+f5 mostly (I find them easier to find with my fingers without looking) these would be all I test before switching back to gui. I don't have an intel/amd based mac - but I don't see the issue an anything I've tested on, nor can I recall noticing it before. Chris g.
