It's not possible to type in any text box in the game, chat, boards, command_block, structure_block, name worlds. This error persists in 3 versions prior to 1.21.130. Since then, it has become impossible for me to chat, issue commands, and use structures in my worlds. On my phone, everything works perfectly. The error only occurs when using Minecraft on my Windows computer. When this error occurred, it was still possible to work around the bug by using Ctrl+Tab to switch windows. But after that, Minecraft was updated and now it's no longer possible to use that strategy.
I play using a laptop connected to a keyboard. It's not possible to type using either the external or integrated keyboard, nor even the virtual keyboard.
Inside the text box, neither the “escape key” nor “ctrl + c” or “ctrl + v” works.
