ft and right arrow keys have no effect in TEAMS BUT left-arrow + CTRL moves left one word, and right-arrow + CTRL moves right one word. So it is clear the arrow keys on the keyboard are functioning and sending signals to the computer. I also tried my laptop built in keyboard & the number pad. All have the same effect. What could be making the arrows by themselves not work? (Up and Down arrows work normally.)
1. Is it a laptop or desktop computer?
Laptop
2. What is the make and model of the keyboard?
HP laptop keyboard & logitech external
3. Was it working fine earlier?
Yes at most an hour before
4. Were there any recent changes made on the computer prior to the issue?
No. Maybe I inadvertently hit some hot key?

Poor Teams development triggers that. Faced that several times, and only restarting helps to solve. Nothing to do with hardware. I'm surprised how well VS Code is made and how buggy Teams are, on the same Electron platform :)
Or you could just fix the issue properly!
This is not a solution its just restarting the application. Stop suggesting that you need to restart a messaging application to make the user input work properly. restarting the application MAY re-enable the functionality but the issue needs to be resolved
> Does this bug illustrate any larger issue?
Yeah, electron apps are crummy. Between Teams, Postman, Lens, and VSC, I get 4 programs that take a GB of memory each to do basically nothing, and that never terminate properly.
Geez this is annoying. It seems to be happening more and more often. Sure, closing Teams and opening it back up fixes the problem for a few hours, or maybe a day, but then it comes back. Has anyone from Microsoft actually responded that this is a known issue they are working on or are we all just complaining to ourselves with no hope of a resolution.
