Title:
  ALT-Left/Right changes VT from X

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Recently, pressing ALT-Left/Right has started switching VTs even when
  X is active. This was not a problem with 15.04. I don't think I had
  this issue when I initially upgraded to wily development, either, but
  I think it was an update I installed in the past few days.

  It does not seem to happen immediately after booting, and I am able to
  use ALT-Left/Right without issue (in Terminator and PyCharm, for
  example), but then at some point it will start switching VTs.

  I'm filing this bug against xwayland, because it's the running X
  server. It shouldn't be - I chose 'GNOME' rather than 'GNOME on
  Wayland' from GDM - but that is what is running. Since I can't seem to
  run without Wayland, I can't test any other way.

  Another user noticed this only happens with multiple monitors. I use
  multiple monitors as well, but haven't tested with only one monitor
  since the bug is not consistently reproducible.
