I simply observe users every couple of days being confused by this
change and am asking if there is something that we can do to help them.
It seems that there are people who use (for example) irssi with
gnome-terminal but not tabs. They would have had no need to know about
these shortcuts before and making the leap to find out about it is
going to be tricky.

It's fair enough to just say that this is the new behaviour and users
just have to fix it themselves if they want. The solution is available
on various blogs, as you say. I was just hoping we could do something
nice.

Could you close this bug if you think that it's not worth doing
anything?

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

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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?
