I can reproduce it but only in:
* GNOME Shell 3.36.4
* KDE Plasma Shell 5.18.5
But in XFCE, LXDE, LXQT, MATE and others ++ works fine
for me.
At first, I've tried to use `sudo chvt 2` for switching form KDE on tty1 to Raw
Console on tty2. After switching to tty2 ++ works as in early
days.
It doesn't depends on video drivers or kernel flags and etc. For my laptop I've
got the same for nvidia:455.38 and for i915, with modeset and with nomodset,
with GFX grub mode and without.
But I guess, this is not a system or hardware problem, because there are no any
troubles with small environments. So after some research I found, that you can
use `sudo kbd_mode`.
So for me `sudo kbd_mode -af` works fine without reboot.

Unfortunately I cannot find `DontVTSwitch` option in xorg.conf-like all-over
the system, as was said for example here:

I think it'll be better solution.
The solution of Fredrik Öhrström (oehrstroem) also sounds great.

Title:
No virtual terminals (CTRL+ALT+F?) when no user logged in; erratic
behaviour when user logged in.
Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed

Bug description:
As of today's 18.04 version, on a dell xps-13 (the old i7-4500U one), to
reproduce:
- boot Ubuntu
- Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 (or F3 or...)
Expected behaviour: virtual console should appear with login prompt.
Actual behaviour: nothing happens.
When a user is logged in, Ctrl+Alt+F3 switches to terminal tty3...
However, hitting first Ctrl+Alt+F1 and, subsequently, hitting
Ctrl+Alt+F3 does not show tty3, and remains at the graphical login
screen but keyboard and mouse are unresponsive until either
Ctrl+Alt+F1 or Ctrl+Alt+F? are pressed, being ? the virtual terminal
the ubuntu session is running at.
