Magic Keyboard problems

I did the space bar thing and that solved some problems but I am still having other problems. I could be using email or calendar and suddenly there will be a box around where I am typing. The box could be blue, yellow or red and usually the arrow keys stop working. Anyone else having this issue? When I take the IPad off the keyboard it works fine.

iPad Pro, 14

Hello Chevycgc,


You can find some good information about using external keyboard with iPad in the "Control iPad with an external keyboard" part of this page: Adjust the onscreen and external keyboard settings on iPad


If you go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards > Full Keyboard Access, is "Full Keyboard Access" turned on there? If so, does turning that setting off change the behavior you're experiencing?
