Xbox
So, I play on the mainly on the Xbox version of the game and use both Controller and Keyboard & Mouse, with the new update for some reason keyboard functionality when typing is possibly broken as I have found issues with it. For instance, I've noticed when trying to type with the keyboard it brings up the on-screen keyboard of the Xbox, which if you're using a keyboard is completely redundant and breaks some of the menu functionality when typing.
For example, I use commands like the fill command in creative mode when creating large structures to save time. If I need to make a large cube for example, I would hit the slash key to start typing the fill command, then I would hit the tilde key to auto fill the coordinates of first location I want to use, then confirm it. Of course, I would get an error message because it's not a completed command but, then I would go to the second location and hit the up-arrow key to select the previous unfinished command to continue with it. Then repeat the same action of auto filling the coordinates with the tilde key then selecting the block type I desire, then boom done. A reasonably quick way of making a large cube in quick time.
Now because of the on-screen keyboard redundantly popping up when it shouldn't, this seemingly simple process is now broken. For example, the auto fill function doesn't work now because you can't use the tilde key in the command line, this is due to the fact that it doesn't allow you to type in the command line anymore but on the on-screen keyboard instead. So you need to exit the on-screen keyboard to see the auto fill line to then type it in the on-screen keyboard instead of just hitting tilde on the keyboard.
I've also noticed that unfinished commands/incorrect commands aren't showing in the command history, don't know if that's a change or bug but, it's a change I would prefer to an option to show all command in the command history or limited command history in the settings.
Another Small thing that broke is paste keybind (CTRL+V) breaks the on-keyboard by making it not go away. I found this trying to find a good world seed to explore by copying the seed number on Chunkbase. I've also found replicable here are the steps to break it. Step 1: Copy anything line of text from any app that supports the keyboard (Microsoft Edge for example). Step 2: Go into Minecraft and type in a world name or something. Step 3: Hit the Paste Keybind while in the on-screen keyboard (CTRL+V). Step 4: Congratulations you broke it.
Anyways I'm not usually anyone to report bugs but, this is something that affects me a lot, so I hope this is seen or heard by devs.
TL; DR Keyboard Functions are broke and need fixed.
