Keyboard keys stop working at random STM32CubeIDE Linux

I use STM32CubeIDE on Linux Ubuntu (and to a lesser extent on MacOS and Windows, but I don't recall having a problem on the last 2 operating systems). About once or twice a day, at random, several of the keys such as <backspace> and <enter> and <delete> stop working. All the alphabetical and number keys work as normal. If I switch to a different application all the keys are working, but when I switch back to Cube the problem continues.

I solve the problem by saving my work, shutting and relaunching Cube. Is this a bug in the application?

I've noticed this on Ubuntu also.  It seems to occur for me after generating code from the CubeMX view.  Restarting STM32CubeIDE resolves the issue, but it is quite annoying.

exactly me too.
I met very often while configuration tunings.

 

select lines and "Edit-Copy" then "Edit-Paste" by mouse operation,
after doing this likely solved for my cases.

it is still bother but easier than restart IDE for me.

I have the same problem. My solution is to open the Preferences menu (maybe any other popup window works) and close it by "Apply and Close". I don't do any changes on the Preferences.
