I installed the Cinnamon Desktop Environment on My Ubuntu 21.10 OS. After that whenever I open a text editor and press Ctrl + . it prints e. It just toggles if I press it multiple times. I tried different Desktop Environment like KDE, it behaves exactly same. When i remove the DE and use Ubuntu as is, the problem goes away !

I am quite unsure why this is happening , bit of help on this will be really helpful, Is there any restriction in terms of using different Desktop Environments on Ubuntu?

OS: Ubuntu Cinnamon 21.10 x86_64 
Kernel: 5.13.0-30-generic 
Shell: bash 5.1.8

DE: Cinnamon 4.8.6 
WM Theme: Fluent-round-compact (Yaru 
Theme: Fluent-round-compact [GTK2/3] 
Icons: Fluent-dark [GTK2/3] 
Terminal: gnome-terminal

What you're seeing I believe is part of a means for quickly inserting emojis with the ibus input method framework. There's some details about it here and here, including I think a way to disable it.

Addition : Just for easy reference added shortcut change the process.

  • Search for IBus Preference
  • Go to Emoji tab
  • Change the Emoji annotation to anything else.
  • Click Apply
