When you are trying to type in chat it does not always focus on the text input and does not let you type.
Steps to reproduce.
1.- In any world press T (or your binded key) to open chat
2.- While doing that do not move the mouse
3.- You will see you are able to to type
4.- Now do again steps one and two, but this time moving the mouse
5.- If you have the mouse on any part of the screen excpet above the text input you will not be able to type, and if you have it over the text input yes
Expected Behaviour.
When you open the chat screen it will always focus on the text input
If you press in any place of the screen out of the text input it will stop focusing on it so you will not be able to type
If you hover the mouse over the text input it will not allow you to type, you will need to press on the text input to be able to type again.

The method listed in the description rarely works, however when trying to paste a message into the game via Ctrl + V, the message is never pasted until trying to paste it after pressing Tab, typing something, or clicking the text box.
If this method is valid, I'll continue updating the ticket, testing the issue this way.
Thank you for your report!

This is also an issue on mobile Bedrock when using a bluetooth keyboard after pressing enter to submit the text. The text input line is not automatically given focus. So the player needs to touch the text input line before they can continue typing.
It would seem that when you open the chat window, the text input should automatically be given text focus, and should only lose it when the player taps another control item.
