[Bug 1783859] [NEW] Alt-Key handling changed after update

[Patrick Stählin]

Public bug reported:

After the updating packages, the handling of the Alt-key changed on two
machines. The Alt-Left/Right switches to the console (tty6 on Alt-Left
and tty2 on Alt-Right). Also pressing Alt-F2 switches to tty2 instead of
opening krunner. When switching back to the Desktop (pressing Ctrl-
Alt-F1, Alt-F1 works as well...) I can see that krunner is open, so the
keypress does arrive in KDE.

I have no idea what could have caused this or if this only affects
kubuntu.

This behaviour is not consistent and, at least for me is hard to
reproduce. Once it does occur Sending laptop to sleep and then Logging
back in will restore the expected behaviour. I cannot yet pinpoint the
moment at which ALT-Fx start being passed to X.
