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.

    Also wanted to confirm this issue is happening to me as well. It is specific to teams.

    • My back arrow works fine in other applications but does not work inside a teams.
    • Also, within Teams... the back arrow works fine in a Teams Channel, but it does not work inside a Teams Chat. So it appears to be only impacts one specific area of Teams. So definitely a teams bug, not an issue with my keyboard or my laptop.

    I also encounter this issue.

    Seems like the UP/DOWN are directed to Home/End and the LEFT/RIGHT don't respond.

    Same here. Seems to work for a while then quits. Arrow key functionality is fine outside the app.

    Same here. Teams version: 1.4.00.32771 (64-bit)

    Arrow keys randomly stops working on both a usb keyboard as well as my laptop integrated keyboard. None of the suggested fixes seem permanent so definitely a bug that needs addressing by MS
