See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730128 for discussions
and workaround.

Short summary: these are hotkeys for changing between gnome-terminal
tabs. You can disable these shortcuts, in that case they'll be forwarded
to irssi or whichever other applications.

Older versions of gnome-terminal switched tab when there was a tab with
that given number, and forwarded the key to the application if there
wasn't. E.g. with 3 gnome-terminal tabs opened, Alt+3 switched to the
rightmost, whereas Alt+4 send this to irssi. This "dual" behavior is no
longer supported.

Title:
  Left Alt + <num> is not passed to irssi in terminal when in GUI

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) last updated
  2015-03-12 14:45

  1) Log onto system in graphical mode.
  2) Start a terminal, for me gnome-terminal.
  3) Start irssi.
  4) Make several windows in irssi.
  5) Try to use left Alt + window number to change window.

  Expected to be able to change between windows, outcome is that no
  action is performed.

  This has worked fine through all previous Ubuntu releases.

  It also works fine if I change to text console (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and
  do the same steps.

  Any pointers in how to debug this further?
