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?

    OK, THIS appears to help:

    * Click on the "Format" icon to get the full compose window.

    * Hit the escape key to close the compose window (and click on Discard)

    Reenabled the cursor keys for me

    Microsoft needs to fix this bug. Telling us to quit the program and restart it is not a solution. It is a bug of the program.

    It's Microsoft! You will quit/restart and like it!

    Thanks - I actually found when you right click on Teams icon on the bottom bar and select "X Quit" to go out, when I came back into Microsoft Teams again, it worked from then on. Thanks
