so I don't know why but when I type ALT+F4 Ubuntu firstly pass to TTY4 and when I go back to TTY7 to login in my previous screen, after entered, it'll close the window (that I was trying to close).

What I would to do is:

  1. Don't pass to any TTY#(except with CTRL+ALT+F)
  2. Only close the window that I'm trying to close;

What can I do? Thanks to everyone!

This bug was reported years ago to the devs team, but it is supposed to be fixed with the latest versions of Ubuntu.

If you're not using russian keyboard, I'd say you could just remove the package console-cyrillic responsible for this, or run this patch.

EDIT: As comments suggest, updating grub with sudo update-grub seems to solve this issue, somehow

    I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 16.04, Kernel 4.4.0-31-generic. It's a new problem, days ago everything was working perfectly. –  Jul 21 '16 at 13:26
  • Are you using compiz? – Fluffy Jul 21 '16 at 13:27
  • No, I'm not. I'm running gnome-shell. –  Jul 21 '16 at 13:34
  • And does alt+f2 opens TTY2, alt+f3 tty3 etc..? – Fluffy Jul 21 '16 at 13:37
  • Yes, that's right! –  Jul 21 '16 at 13:37
  • I think this is kbd_mode issue, like it was with the cyrillic kb, I can reproduce this if I type kbd_mode -u in a terminal... Can you try with kbd_mode -a and see if the behavior is the same? – Fluffy Jul 21 '16 at 13:46

    Was this ever resolved in chat? I'm having the same exact issue in a new Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 install. – Jay Jan 05 '17 at 14:35

    Well, yes but I can't remember how. Days ago I got the same problem, but unexpectedly solved running sudo update-grub and/or with a reboot. How this help. PS: Times ago, running the above command didn't help –  Mar 08 '17 at 16:05
  • @Pielco11 This happened to me yesterday with a 2-day old installation of 17.04 with a manually-installed Gnome. I did add a Cyrillic layout (Bulgarian traditional phonetic), but it didn't happen straight away. I used the machine for a day, and then, randomly, it started throwing me into the TTYs. I did run a sudo update-grub and rebooted afterwards, which solved the problem. Thanks :) – Shade Aug 08 '17 at 11:13
  • Do I have to reboot after sudo update-grub? – Gui Imamura Apr 23 '19 at 23:56
