FYI the bug may be temporarily fixed on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (with HWE), Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (and Mint 19) using packages from my PPA ( https://launchpad.net/~nrbrtx/+archive/ubuntu/xorg-hotkeys or " ppa:nrbrtx/xorg-hotkeys " ). It contains patched Xorg (with patch from kyak - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xorg-server-bug865/ ). Thank you very much again, kyak!
