Unusuable windows pops up using Shift + 2 in Ubuntu 18

So.. when I try to do Shift+2, I get the pop-up shown in the image. Happens using keyboard config of English (US), but not when using English (UK), then I get a "-symbol as expected. However, when performing the combination to produce a @-symbol, I get the same 'pop-up'-screen as with the English (US) config.

Anyone knows why this happens and what it is?

enter image description here

EDIT:
Using gnome-control-center keyboard to find the keymapping for the Shift + 2 combination.. I find that it maps to

enter image description here

Removing that mapping will change it to Shift+Super+Home, which allows me to use Shift+2 to display @ once again.

As you already have my green backgrounded answer, I can recommend to drop GNOME sHell and continue with green functional DE (you know the name). It may be faster than finding the reasons of GNOME misfunction.

What is your current desktop environment? If it is GNOME, then please add screenshot of gnome-control-center keyboard with search for Shift (like this one) to the question.

My DE was the standard GNOME. I added the screenshot and it in doing so found a way to resolve the issue. Thanks

You should check the keyboard shortcuts in GNOME Control Center (Keyboard tab):

Open it from dash (or with gnome-control-center keyboard)

Compare your settings with default settings below:

and locate or change the problematic items.
