I'm using 18.04.1 LTS. I looked at the related questions, but they seem to suggest that Alt+Tab is also affected and somehow related, which is not the case for me.

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).
