There seems to be an issue with the “Tab“ binding on key “8”:
in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de

key <AE08> { [ 8, doublelowquotemark, singlelowquotemark, U27E8, Tab, ISO_Left_Tab, U221E, NoSymbol ] };
                                                                 ^^^
Gnome seems to have a problem, when Tab is defined on another Key than
the Tab key.
This fixes the issue (but changes the Layout)
key <AE08> { [ 8, doublelowquotemark, singlelowquotemark, U27E8, NoSymbol, ISO_Left_Tab, U221E, NoSymbol ] };
