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?

    Just did this and got a "Thank you for your feedback" reply.

    Don't think I will have a follow-up

    I just got some help from Microsoft on Twitter.

    It turns out that we are posting our questions in the wrong channel. The product managers are reading the feedback that they get when we click the question mark in the lower left corner of Teams for business.

    Please follow the instructions in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/give-feedback-in-teams-c0fb6297-22af-4db5-b19b-69e0a6720927#ID0EBBD=Desktop

    My company went to Webex - I hated it.

    Eventually we went back to Teams so happy except this typing issue it is still happening....really.

    At least the JPG issue where you can not see the posted pictures has been fixed as that is why we moved in the first place.
