Keyboard Back and Forward Arrow Keys Not Working in Chat

When I am typing in the message/chat window and I want to go back using the arrow keys on my keyboard it doesn't work. The cursor doesn't move at all. I have to use the mouse to move the cursor. I am running Teams on Windows 11 22000.318, Teams version 1.4.00.29469 (64-bit).

On a side note, I have also noticed that typing the three ` no longer puts me into Code Snippet mode.

    I can confirm I had the same issue this morning. Quit Teams and re-opened, issue went away. Hope this can be resolved.

    same exact problem. makes you wonder why it hasn't been fixed yet? people within MS do not use Teams, and thus have not run into the bug? or they have seen the bug and do not know how to fix it? anyways...

    this is how i "fix" it. if you X out of the app and go back in, that doesn't help, right? we all have tried that. i have the app pinned to my taskbar, so your steps may be slightly different. after i exit the app (click the red X on top right corner), i then right-click the icon on the taskbar and select "Quit". then get back in the app. you will notice it takes a little bit longer to startup than when you just exit and go back into it. it seems that exiting the app leaves it running in the background. the Quit makes it really get out of memory.

    p.s. i went to the app icon through the normal start button search or scroll through the list. in either case right-click on the icon also shows the quit option.

    good luck

    While Microsoft are fixing this obvious failing, how about also fixing Teams's dark mode so that black text pasted on to the black background doesn't remain black (and all-but invisible), or alternatively providing a right-click menu 'paste' option that strips all formatting, as in Word etc?

    Too much time and effort implementing inane stickers as if we're all 12 years old, and not concentrating on the core functionality, methinks...

    Same here. This has been going on for a few months.
