Description
Similar to the closed #10842 I am seeing the Ubuntu 20.04 host capture both the Super/Windows key (always) as well as Alt-tab.
I am seeing this on Ubuntu 20.04 immediately after upgrading from 18.04.
I have this version of Virtualbox installed https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.8/virtualbox-6.1_6.1.8-137981~Ubuntu~eoan_amd64.deb.
I am using a Windows 10 Virtualbox guest. When I press the "Windows/Super" key the Ubuntu unity menu responds when the Windows 10 virtualbox should respond. The unity desktop also seems to capture "Alt-Tab" but other "Alt" commands do respond in the Windows virtualbox.
This problem only occurs when selecting "Wayland" at the Ubuntu login screen. The regular login method works fine (I was in a login loop).
