Something in my Ubuntu 16.04 broke with my keyboard text input. In input fields of different programs (firefox, thunderbird, sublime), the keyboard input changes to something unknown the moment I use the shift key or a letter key.

Only the following keys return a letter when pressing the keys of the qwertz (german) keyboard: 

wzü+
fjöä#
<n,.-

If I switch the application, or press "control+o" in sublime, I somehow get back to the normal "de" language settings. But if I again use shift, it breaks again and returns the garbage you see above.

System: Dell XPS Developer Edition (9360) with Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS

Here a screenshot of the text-related UI of Ubuntu & a bit of dmesg.

Any ideas?

Firstly try this command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

If it doesn't work permanently, try this solution.
