I'll try to disable all gnome shell extensions, maybe it's related to one of them. The weird stuff is that other editors (geany, gnome editor, libreoffice and so on) behave normally.

Do you have a feature like "Tap Ctrl to show the location of the mouse" turned on in your desktop environment?

Hi, I have never seen this on any of my machines. However, I haven't used it with latest Ubuntu yet. I am still on 19.10. Detlev Am Dienstag, 16.
