Left & right arrow keys don't move the cursor (in teams)

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?

    Still not working in Windows 11, Teams 1.5.00.11163 (64-Bit)

    More than one year in this thread for an annoying little bug in one of the most often used office tools and there is still no fix??

    Great to hear that jumping in and out of the text box via tabbing and recognizing your left right else where is working for you.

    No such luck here. :(

    I have the same issue with MS Teams

    I am a bit surprised how unreliable and process hungry it is in general

    Probably same issue here, Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) the arrows work initially but soon stop working, doesn't need cache refresh to cure it, just "pkill teams" and it will then work again, for a while....
