[2.8.0] Under VNC CTRL-ALT-2 doesn't get to the monitor

With version 2.6.2 I could access the monitor via VNC by pressing CTRL-ALT-2, while CTRL-ALT-3 brought me to the "serial0 console". CTRL-ALT-1 brought me back to the VGA console.
Since 2.8.0 CTRL-ALT-2 brings me to the "serial0 console" and CTRL-ALT-3 to the "parallel0 console". The monitor is not available any more, to any CTRL-ALT-1stROW.

Can you still reproduce your issue with the latest version of QEMU (currently v4.2.0)? Please also always add the way how you launched QEMU (ie. the command line parameters)
