I am using Visual Studio Extensions, while creating a new solution through extension for the first time, we are only able to type alphabets. Backspace, Enter, Navigation keys are not working while editing any file.
But when we force close the solution, and reopen the editing is working as expected. I've tried various solutions from various forums, but nothing works. Please help me find a solution.

    Same problem here with VS 2022 17.13.2 after using postsharp of MetaLama.

    Backspace, Delete and Arrows didn't work.
    Reset of keyboard did not solve the problem.

    Only closing VS and reopening fixed.
