I tried to close an application with ALT+F4 and found myself in a console. Turns out sometimes the keyboard gets messed up, so ALT+F keys don't do what they should, but switches between consoles. No, my CTRL key isn't stuck down. I have seen this on 16.04 installs running GNOME Shell, but never seen it on Unity on the same install.
