Also assigned to xorg-server, because Xorg should be intercepting
Alt+KEY. If Xorg fails to do so and somehow the key events get sent to
the VT then we get the unwanted VT's interpretation of Alt+KEY.
** Description changed:
+ WORKAROUND:
+
+ sudo kbd_mode -s
+
+ ORIGINAL 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.
