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

Anonymous

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?

Good tip.
Holding Ctrl also works to move word by word. Backspace also works.
That combination works as a temporary measure to move cursor and correct text, at least for me.
But this is very annoying when this happens.
MS, pls fix this quick.

Any plans to fix this or will you keep working on features nobody wants instead of fixing the core features?
