Ubuntu: Linux for Human Beings

Hi, I'm very new to Ubuntu and I'm attempting to write js code. However the dead keys, specifically the backtick (or the grave-key) which I especially need is not working.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.5. The backtick is shown in my default german keyboard layout, however neither the backtick nor the tilde key work. I tried switching to English (US, intl. with dead keys) but it didn't help.

I've been searching for hours now, but couldn't find anything that would resolve this problem for me.

Is this a known issue? Is there some sort of fix for this? I would appreciate any advice.
