Kivy version was the right hint. I'm working on this app for several years now and the Kivy version was a bit behind.
With 2.3.1 it's all good. Strange thing, happened from one day to the other, I rolled some versions of my app back, but always had
this strange effect. Gotta be connected with some recent Linux updates. Also the key bindings couldn't capture Ctrl,
Shift and Alt anymore. Now it's all solved with 2.3.1.
Thanks!
