Dollar sign prints as number four when using Swiss German keyboard layout

Using Ubuntu Impish Indri on a Lenovo Ideapad C314

Sorry, I couldn't reproduce this in a VM with fully updated Ubuntu 21.10. I've tried it with the following layouts:

• German (Switzerland)
• German (Switzerland, Macintosh)
• German (Switzerland, legacy)
• German (Switzerland, no dead keys)
• German (Switzerland, with Sun dead keys)

Were you using one of those layouts, or something different?
Have you been running your system for a while, or is it a fresh installation?
Are you running any other extensions that might interfere with the keyboard?
Does journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat show any errors?
Can you see any errors in looking glass? (Press Alt + F2, enter lg, switch to "extensions" tab and click "show errors" for "Improved OSK" extension).
Does this happen every time you press $ on the on-screen keyboard, or only after you perform certain actions, or perhaps while using some specific application?

The input source is German(Switzerland) in Systen Settings/Keyboard
Its a rather new installation, about 3 months old and only upgraded once from Ubuntu Hirsute to Impish

No serious errors in gnome log:

Those are the only gnome extensions I have installed:

Bluetooth battery indicator by michalwanat
Desktop Icons NG (DING) by rastersoft
Improved OSK by NickShmyrev
Screen Autorotate by kosmospredanie

Looking glass shows no errors

it happens every time I try to write a dollar sign.

What is strange as well is that the layout has y and z switched even though German Switzerland is defined

Correction: so far it works as intended in gedit, firefox and libre office. it doesn not work in Chrome, terminal, steam client and visual studio code
