Arrow keys suddenly stop working !

I have iPad Pro and magic keyboard, for some strange reason the arrow keys have stopped working on certain apps, I cannot even scroll on messages or google photos, it is so annoying !

Ive tried rebooting etc and nothing fixes it.

Can anybody help ? It’s driving me nuts.

Thanks in advance

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15
