Esc key not working (Touch Bar)

Hello,


esc key is not working on my MacBook Touch Bar: I can't exit full screen, neither on full-screen video nor on browser.


I tried quitting the touchbarserver (both from the terminal and from the activity monitor); what else can I try?


thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0
