*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
After using to a TTY and returning to X, some or all of the input
performed in the TTY gets sent to X.
Case 1:
1. Put your cursor over a non-maximized window.
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to TTY1.
3. Log-in.
4. Press Alt+F7 to return.
What happens:
1. At least in Compiz, the window is in "Move" mode, so mouse movement moves
the window. You must click to get out of this mode.
2. The help will be invoked of whatever application handled it, presumably
because you pressed F1 to use TTY1.
What should happen:
You should be return to X in the state you left it, and no input involved in
going to/from, or using the TTY, should later make it to X
Case 2:
1. Open a text editor.
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to go to TTY2
3. Type your username and press enter.
4. Press Alt+F7 to return.
What happens:
After clicking or otherwise exiting from "move" mode, the username is echoed in
the text editor.
What should happen:
See first case.
