Caret key opens up menu

Heya, pressing the caret key opens up this little menu below the focused window. Not sure why and how to deactivate it. Any ideas?

edit: It seems this is a "dead-key" issue with ubuntu. I already tried to deactivate dead keys in the keyboard layout, but it does not work yet. Will update

I'm probably dumb, but what is a "caret key"?

Circumflex. In the german layout it is right below the escape key. Should have been more specific - sorry.

This drives me nuts. I cannot use this key because it triggers this little popup and I don't know where it comes from. Perhaps some hidden wine shortcut or something?
