Title:
  ALT-F[1-8] switches to text console

Status in console-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in kbd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Related bug: bug 463762 (probably exactly the same bug)

  not only ALT-CTRL-F[1-8] switches to the text console from X-Server,
  but also ALT-F[1-8] does this switching. I don't know where this comes
  from, but it breaks lots of stuff, i.e. ALT-F4 to close an app, ALT-F2
  to open the quick-start-applet, ... This happens not only on my
  desktop, but also on a GDM login desktop too.

  Strange thing is that if I switch back to the X-Server from the text
  console with ALT-F7, the actual keyboard action is executed in the
  X-Server, i.e. if I press ALT-F4, the text console is shown, when I
  switch back, the current application is closed!

  I saw this a while ago after update from 8.04 to 10.04 LTS on a
  different laptop (Toshiba with Nvidia graphix), and now the same bug
  on a fresh install of 10.10 on Lenovo X200t.

  I am using Russian keyboard layout. Once I delete the Russian keyboard
  layout and log-out, the bug is gone. But even without the Russian
  layout the bug returns after reboot. But then it goes away after I add
  the Russian layout and log out then log in. It seems that changing the
  layout disables the bug until next reboot.
