[LR 8.0 broke this again, and Adobe has reopened the bug. See All Replies.]
LR 7.4 broke the keyboard shortcut for Group Into Stack for German. For previous versions, it was assigned to Cmd/Ctrl+G. But in 7.4, Preferences is also assigned to Cmd+G (Preferences was previously assigned to Cmd+W).
The workaround (and Adobe's fix) is to change this line in TranslatedStrings_Lr_de_DE.txt:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/custom-keyboard-shortcuts/
Yet again, no quality assurance for changes to keyboard shortcuts. At a minimum, before allowing a change to TranslatedStrings to be checked into the main branch, there should two people doing a "diff" and reviewing each edit.

still not fixed.

Unfortunately, you'll have to apply the workaround described in the first post.

After installing Lightroom Classic CC (8.2) the issue seems to be fixed. I've tested the shortcut CTRL + G and it worked fine.

...and I checked the TranslatedStrings file, and it looks correct. I'll mark this as Solved.
