Velocity gets higher while pressing Attack Button?

Question

Hi everyone! I’m (Total beginner) creating a 2D Platformer. The character picks up a weapon and can attack (ui_Attack).
But when I press the Attack Button while also pressing the Jump button (ui_accept") or the left,right (ui_left / ui_right) button, my jumps become way to high or too far.
I tried to find the mistake but was unable to. I know it might be my _physiscs_process function but i’m stuck. Maybe you can help me. Thanks in advance! (English is not my main language, sorry in advance for any mistakes :D)

Make sure to paste your scripts with proper code formatting, the </> button or ctrl+e will add three ticks for you like so

```
type or paste code here
```

seems like you only apply gravity when the player is not attacking.
