The same thing just happened to me after an update.

Running `sudo kbd_mode -s` fixed it.

Bug description:
  I'm used to using alt+left/right arrow to navigate back and forward in
  web browsers and elsewhere (nautilus)...  But on this fresh install of
  Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 beta, it seems to try and switch me between tty
  consoles (the ctrl+alt+f1 ones).  But it's not listed as one of the
  shortcuts in the "keyboard" menu, so I don't know how to disable it...
