Public bug reported: 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.
