Started experiencing this in Ubuntu 18.04 on two different computers,
since a few days ago, presumably because of a package upgrade ; both
users are using the Unity shell (if it makes any difference; I didn't
try another one) ; disabling those shortcuts is important because
Alt+arrow are very commonly used as Back/Forward in Chromium and
Firefox, whereas the virtual console feature is almost never used and
doesn't deserve more than just the usual Ctrl+Alt+Fn bindings. The
dumpkeys|grep|loadkeys hack works, but the problem is that it shouldn't
ever be needed.
