  1. I can't type in the search bar, pause/play videos and some other things


    I can only type 1 letter in the search bar and after that it doesnt let me. When i go into settings or video player it looks like if i was holding TAB all the time or something, its switching between the options to click. It doesn't happen in other apps, only in windows ones it seems.
    Anyone can help?

    :)
