This is a known bug. See Alt+left/right arrows switch between tty consoles (Gnome Shell vanishes), cannot disable for details.
For what it's worth, the same thing happens in Firefox.

This command solves my problem.
sudo kbd_mode -s
Without argument, kbd_mode prints the current keyboard mode (RAW, MEDIUMRAW or XLATE). With argument, it sets the keyboard mode as indicated:
-s: scancode mode (RAW),
-k: keycode mode (MEDIUMRAW),
-a: ASCII mode (XLATE),
-u: UTF-8 mode (UNICODE).
Source:
man kbd_mode
Kindly edit your question and explain what exactly this command does and how it solves the issue.

That is exactly the point. You have to look elsewhere to know what the answer does. Everything should be in the answer. The answer should be self contained.
