MCPE-136152Game Stops Recognizing Spacebar Keystrokes After Opening Text Fields
I play Minecraft with a keyboard and mouse quite often. However, it seems to be that the game stops recognizing the spacebar keystroke after opening any type of text fields (such as chat, crafting menu search, naming worlds, etc.) This means that after opening those menus, I no longer can jump.using the spacebar key. If I change my keybind for jumping to another key, I can jump, but I can the game stops detecting the spacebar key for some reason.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect the device to a keyboard.
2. Enter into a world/server.
3. Open chat (or any other menus with text fields)
4. Type in those fields.
5. Exit that UI.
6. Try Jumping using the spacebar.
The only workaround is the close out of the game, and restart it, and not touch any text fields.

This still happens for me on 1.19.50. When playing on a world local to my device (i.e. not online), switching to another app, then back to Minecraft, seems to fix the issue, at least until you use another text field. However, when playing on Realms that does not fix the problem, and I have to completely kill the app and rejoin my Realm to fix the issue. I don't play with touch screen controls at all, so it makes gameplay really painful on Realms.
