[Bug] Problem when trying to type (CAUGH ON CAMERA!!)

Question

You know when you're trying to edit a text with type tool but nothing happens? Yeah, I'm talking about this bug.

Usually, to work around this issue, you need to press ALT + TAB. When going back to the XD, the type tool works.

I had the patience to record this bug with my phone, because it's kinda impossible to record my screen to register this bug (because you'd probably press ALT + TAB to open a recorder program, right?)

The bug is here:

Why this bug happens? I don't know.

How this bug happens? I don't know.

Does this happen on Mac version too? I don't know.

What XD version was I running? The most recent version by 20/01/2021 (I always keep XD updated)

Does this bug still happen? I don't know, if it isn't fixed, probably is still there

Can I get logs of this problem? No, unfortunatly I can't spend my work hours trying to reproduce this bug to get logs.

It's regularly happening to me, more often in recent versions in Xd, even the first time I type something after making a new file - while trying to name it or change a value on the right. The bug has been around for 2-3 years now. It's probably some fundamental issue with Windows and UWP.
