Why doesn't ctrl + a work?

The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A almost everywhere works like the Home key. What could be the problem? How can I fix it? Where to dig?
Such a problem is in the address bar in browsers, in the search in the "files" program, in all inputs on sites, and so on. It seems that the problem is everywhere where the Linux hotkey settings are used. For example, there is no problem in telegram and sublime text (I understand that they have their own binds)

Ctrl-A I have in the comment field (this comment), in the address bar of the browser (FF 56), in the address bar of the ancient Konqueror, in XnView, in the Windows (wine) FastStone ImageView - works like "select all text"

Bought a new laptop. I did not specifically restore the backup from the old one and installed everything from scratch. Yesterday I spent a day on this, today the problem appeared on a new laptop and I don’t know why. Burned out!
PS On Windows, everything works fine. All keys are working and working properly. The problem is in Ubuntu.

Perhaps it will come in handy for someone, in gnome you can select everything using ctrl + /
You can disable this in Gnome-tweaks - Keyboard and mouse - Emacs input
And here are other combinations from Emacs
Ctrl-p - up
Ctrl-n - down
Ctrl-f - right
Ctrl-b - left
Alt-b and Alt-f - left and right by a whole word
Ctrl-a - home
Ctrl-e - end
Ctrl-d - delete
Ctrl-k - delete line
Personally, ctrl-a and ctrl-e are convenient for me use on laptop because those buttons are on fn...
