Keyboard input delay for 1–2 seconds after exiting Pause menu or Inventory in Minecraft Bedrock (Windows 11)

When playing Minecraft Bedrock Edition on Windows 11, I experience a consistent 1–2 second delay in keyboard input (WASD, Space, etc.) after closing the Pause menu (Esc) or Inventory (E).

This issue occurs every time and only right after closing those UI screens. The character does not move or jump for a moment, even though inputs are pressed. After 1–2 seconds, movement works normally again.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch Minecraft Bedrock (latest version)

2. Enter any world (new or old)

3. Press Esc to open the Pause Menu

4. Press Esc again to return to the game

5. Immediately try to move with keyboard (WASD) → delayed response

OR

1. Press E to open Inventory

2. Press E again to close it

3. Try moving → input delay for 1–2 seconds

Expected Behavior:

Keyboard input should respond immediately after closing the menus.

Observed Behavior:

There is a delay before inputs register, even though the menus have been closed.
