keyboard Issue when switching between apps

I’m using a bluetooth keyboard with my iPad Pro. It will work fine with Pages, until I switch apps. For example if I switch to facebook and then come back to pages, the keyboard will not type in pages until I close and then reopen pages. And then it works fine again. Anyone know why this might be?

iPad Pro, 13

3rd party bluetooth keyboard not working properly on iPad Air2 I just recently noticed that the space bar on my bluetooth keyboard from 3rd party is not giving me the space after a word on some Apps on my iPad Air2. It is not working properly on MSWord, the search area on Safari, however, it works fine in Notes and email message. I am not sure if this started to happen after I updated to iOS15 or even at iOS14. Most likely on the later updates as before is working correctly. Anybody has the same experience? Anybody know how to fix it?

Hello,

Try updating to iPadOS 13.5.1 to see if it resolves your problem.
