Alt+Shift+F accesskey does not work anymore on Linux

Reported by rafael.c...@googlemail.com, Jan 10 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
# Exhibit A:
1. Visit https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/coyly
2. Hover search field to confirm that the accesskey is "f".
3. Press Alt+Shift+F.

# Exhibit B:
1. Visit https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14113563/disable-alt-functions-shortcuts-in-google-chrome/31827736#31827736
2. Run the fiddle / code snippet.
3. Press Alt+Shift+F.
4. Compare accesskeys "f" and "a".

What is the expected behavior?
· Exhibit A: the "search" form field is focused.
· Exhibit B: the code snippet frame loads the respective web page.

What went wrong?
In the case of accesskey "f" – and _only_ in the case of accesskey "f" – nothing happens.

Did this work before? Yes supposedly Chrome 65

Chrome version: 71.0.3578.98  Channel: stable
OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Flash Version: 

You can open DevTools and change the acceskey to, say, "t". That makes Alt+T work.

It's only "f" that has become broken (to my knowledge).

I'm no DevTools-on-DevTools expert, but I don't see any obvious exceptions here.

Thanks for filing the issue...

Tried to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 71.0.3578.98 using Ubuntu 17.10 and 14.04.Attaching screen-cast for reference.
Steps: 
------
Exhibit A:
1. Visited https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/coyly and hovered on search field to confirm that the accesskey is "f" 
2. Pressed Alt+Shift+F.
As we have observed that the "the "search" field is got focused".
Exhibit B:
1. Visited https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14113563/disable-alt-functions-shortcuts-in-google-chrome/31827736#31827736
2. Ran the fiddle / code snippet and pressed Alt+Shift+F.
3. Clikced accesskeys "f" and "a".
As we have observed that the code snippet frame loads the respective web page.

Ah, good. Judging by the screencast this does not seem to be a Chrome bug, after all.

I can't tell if it's an issue specific to Ubuntu 18. Most likely, it's just an issue specific to my personal setup. Though, I have no clue how to identify the culprit app.
