Bug Description

After some dist-upgrades of my Vivid testing system I noticed that Alt+Left/Right started to switch from GUI into prev/next text virtual console (as well as prev/next web page in Web browser which I used to using). I would like to restore their function back as expected (web page navigation only, not VConsoles). Please advise on what to reconfigure or downgrade.

Sorry, but this isn't low. This affects a major shortcut prominent in every browser: history back/forth.

It's highly annoying if this suddenly switches the VT.

apparently fixed after recent xorg update.
