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?

    Back in the 90's I let someone on IRC trick me into performing a "fork bomb" on my *nix box. "Never again", I said. I was 99% sure this ridiculous sequence was going to cause a BSoD. To my amazement, it worked. Now I have to rethink everything. Anyone know Therapist who is also a Computer Scientist? I've got a lot to unmarshall.

    This update will release to all environments.

    Thanks for calling this out as the gov clouds typically release a set of weeks later. Those users are more likely to get the update over the month of July.

    You missed out the fact that this is in the Appdata/Roaming folder....

    I love this response. Yes, quitting teams works. But I think most people are interested in hearing Msft chime in with an answer to the problem, not the issue, as they say in ITIL. :)
