Bug Description
I use hotkeys (<ctrl><alt><down> or <ctrl><alt><up>) to switch workspaces.
Since updating to Ubuntu 19.10 I have started to notice characters getting sporadically written to the open terminal when I move to a new workspace. This is limited to terminals. Strange things happen in applications that happen to have a hotkey associated with the character being sent.
Steps to reproduce (see the attached video):
1. open a session with a fresh user account.
2. open a terminal and move it down one workspace
3. open another terminal and move it down a workspace
[The top-most workspace is empty, and then the next two have a terminal, and then the lowest is empty]
4. move up and down through the workspaces by using the hotkeys. be sure to release all keys between each move.
On the fresh user account I get the characters 'A' and 'B' written to my terminals. On my own account I get the character "^[[1;7D" written to the terminal.
