[Bug 1431371] Re: Left Alt + <num> is not passed to irssi in terminal when in GUI

 

Ubuntu might decide to create a patch and apply to Vivid, in that case
it'll reach its users in a short time. It's beyond my control (I'm not
an Ubuntu developer, and for this reason I can't close this bug either.)

Even if upstream addressed this situation, it would take 1 year until it
makes it to another Ubuntu release, and by that time probably every
affected user will have figured out a workaround.

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?
