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 happening 8th of March, 2022. Literally the only application I've ever come across that has this bug. Please fix it already.

    I haven't had this problem for a couple of weeks now and I wonder if maybe it has been fixed.
    I am on Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 build 19044.1526 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4170.0.

    Teams Version 1.5.00.4689 (64-bit). It was last updated on 25/02/2022.

    Yes - this works for me too. You have to Quit as described here, rather than just shutting down the app.

    Thanks.
