Going back to your original message (which I didn't see before, as this
bug was reassigned):

You need to use the Alt key as well.

This really sounds like LibreOffice (or more likely an extension to LO)
has grabbed and then not released the keyboard and mouse.  Applications
can override normal window focus temporarily ('grab') for purposes like
drag-and-drop, but unfortunately this is not automatically released when
you release the mouse buttons.  If an application fails to release its
grab it can effectively break the entire desktop session in the way you
described.  However, the console switching keystrokes should still work.
Could you temporarily remove ibus and test that Strg-Alt-F1 works when
the system is in this state?
