P: Can’t create albums or folders

I can't create folders or albums in Lightroom on my iPad Pro. I have a M1 with the latest update. The panel opens to create an album or folder but I can't type in it and the only option I have is cancel. I have uninstalled & re-installed Lightroom & re-started my iPad. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix it?
Thanks

Did I get it right that you are trying to enter an already existing name? If so, could you try with a not yet used name. Hope this helps - Guido/ Lr QE

No, what I am doing is opening Lightroom, click the + button 'create new' album. The Create Album box opens but I cannot type into it, only click cancel. It's the same with Create Folder

could you do me the favour and attach a screen-recording which might help me to get a clue about your issue. in addition do you have any Accessibilty -or Keyboard iOS settings changed from the default state

Thanks in advance, Guido /


Thanks Guido for taking the time to help me with this. I do have a keyboard attached so perhaps I need to look at the settings. I have no problem with it though anywhere but in this dialogue box.
