I seem to have almost exactly the same bug, and it's been bothering me off and on for many months now. The step to reproduce in the latest comment here from @anders works for me. (I only checked 'sudo setupcon --force')

The only differences that I have is that

1) Alt + F2 doesn't send me to a terminal, but to the GUI (and if I'm already in the GUI then it opens the run dialog as you'd expect) and

2) Ctrl + Alt + F-buttons still work during this bug for me.

This is the kind of bug that makes me think twice before recommending Linux to non-technical people (which to me is the most important people to recruit), so I'm really hoping it will get fixed soon. Thank you all very much for your work!

Let me know if I can be of any help with any logs or the like.
