I had previously posted about this bug the first day It had arised, but to no resolution...
On Xbox, there's an issue to where when you're typing in any in-game text box (i.e. text chat, signs, books, command blocks, etc.), It will bring up the Xbox keyboard overlay regardless of if you have a keyboard plugged in. Before, you used to be able to type directly into these text boxes. This allowed you to use 'Tab' to autofill commands or player names while using text chat, change lines while typing in a sign or book, etc. Not having these abilities makes doing anything regarding typing an absolute pain in the a**. On top of that, It makes the new copy/paste coordinate system they added to Xbox Bedrock completely useless; as when you go to press 'Y' on your controller to paste the coordinate, It just opens up the Xbox keyboard overlay.
I've been more than patient on this issue, as I use commands to make game modes for servers and mod. I've reached out to Mojang support on Twitter, and was told to go to Xbox support with this issue. From there, I was then told to go back to Mojang support, where I have not yet heard a response.
I'd love to get back into commands; and I did for about a day; but this bug just makes it so tedious that I can barely get anything done.
I'd love some feedback on this, as I know many people who are fed up with this issue and would love some sort of resolve.
***Regarding the picture *** - After I pressed '/' to initiate a command, It would enter the slash but wouldn't let me type. That is until I pressed backspace, where it erased the slash then opened up the Xbox keyboard overlay. This works the same way if you press 'T' to open text chat. It will also bring up the Xbox keyboard overlay if you press 'Enter' or 'Tab' after bringing up text chat (Pressing 'T' or '/').
Thank you for your report!
