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?

    So this is an apparent issue....What's going on Microsoft? This is completely annoying and hinders a tool that is supposed to help productivity in the workplace. Restarting an app is not a fix...it's not even a bandaid.... hope you folks can get it together and patch this sooner than later. It reminds me of using an old school typewriter having to use whiteout to correct typos...and I can't type to save my life :)

    This is happening to me on a MAC. Restarting teams will fix it, but it is annoying.

    I have the same problem and i'm quite sure it startet happening after some Teams Update. Problem appears randomly. It would be nice if Microsoft would fix this ;)
