I also have the same problem. And remember that Ubuntu, Fedora work well, so I wonder whether it is a bug. On Jun 11, 2012 4:21 AM, "Mateusz Loskot" <mateusz@loskot.net> wrote:

What bug? The TTY running X is busy running the xinit/xsession process, until you kill that process you shouldn't be able to get the command line prompt to run another program. The only way to overcome this shortcoming would be to run xinit in the background, which I wouldn't reccomend.

Well it happens to me with any TTY, not just the one running X.
I haven't experienced this issue, but then I don't switch TTY that often.
I was just wondering if some of the scenarios mentioned in here is due to the Left vs Right ALT key usage. (It has to be Left ALT if anyone didn't know)
I do left ALT only. Also, in i3wm I use winkey as the modifier key, not the left ALT. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
