Title:
After update to karmic ALT-F[1-8] switches to text console
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Reporting to X-Server as I don't know where else this could be caused.
After upgrading to Karmic I now have the strange behavior that 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, ...
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!
Every time I switch (either with ALT-CTRL-F[1-8] or with ALT-F[1-8]),
the following is printed to the system log:
