Comment 97 for bug 1568604

Hi all,

I've been running Xubuntu 16.04 since about Feb 2016, and this has been an issue for ages.

Prior to seeing the fix for Ctrl+Alt+F1 -> Ctrl+Alt+F7 (which works), the fix for me was navigating to Chrome web browser, logging into Netflix, and playing a video. I've no idea why, and I'm not proposing this as a fix for anyone (clearly the above combination is quicker/easier), but I'm hoping it might help pin down the cause.

I don't have the technical skills to contribute a patch myself, but I was prompted to comment because I'm a bit worried that we're over a month past a release and seeing this bug - which has been around for 2/3 months before release - on an LTS, and still we don't even have it assigned.
