Anyone else having issues with Stage Manager and Bluetooth keyboards?

When I use my iPad (Air, M1) connected to an external display and paired with an Apple Magic Keyboard the keyboard stops receiving keypresses, particularly from modifier keys. Most noticeable when I try to invoke Spotlight to launch an app.

All other keypresses work fine, so it’s extremely odd. Hve also noticed the focus switching to the iPad (not the display) when typing.

Anyone else?…

To be honest stage manager with external display is having lot of problems and bugs. I have this problems too. What i hate most are f.e. crashes of system. F.e. if you move from your ipad one windows to external display and then other safari window it will crash.

I have the same problem. If I use commands, most of the time they do not register. I often times have to go on my iPad screen, use the command, then go back to the external monitor and do the same command for it to work.
