Bug description:
The player is unable to switch their gamemode when pressing F3+F4 while their chat is disabled.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new single-player world or use an existing one (make sure cheats are enabled)
Press ESC to bring up the menu, and then go to "Options > Chat Settings"
In the chat settings, make sure the chat is hidden
Close the settings and un-pause the game
Try using F3+F4 to change your game mode

Can confirm for 21w07a, the game mode switcher will open, but when you close it, the game mode won’t change.
