Cannot use shift or any modifier keys to modify text on iOS

After updating to 1.19.10, when using the magic keyboard attached to an iPad, whenever the shift key is pressed in a text field, focus is lost making it impossible to type a capital letter or symbol without using the on-screen keyboard. Also happens when pressing any modifier keys like command or option or control. Huge bug as it basically prevents all chat and command usage!

Happens in chat and in game rename text fields.

I think I figured out how to reproduce this bug. It seems to only happen when a mouse and keyboard is connected too.

  1. Connect a keyboard and mouse

  2. Open chat from T or tapping the screen then the chat icon

  3. Tap the chat box with your finger (Don’t tap the keyboard icon on the bottom left or the chat box with your mouse)

  4. Then try to tap the shift key and it will kick you out

If you use your mouse to tap the chat box it seems to work, just only when you touch the chat with your finger it kicks you out. Most of the other buttons work besides the ones listed above and caps lock. When pressing tab it produces a weird symbol (ō).

iOS on 1.19.20.21 and 1.19.1

Thanks for the workaround.  Using the keyboard to tap the field does allow me to use caps!  Thank you.  However, still an issue when tapping on 1.19.11
