WhatsApp - Can't type in chat after looking at contact/group info

I've noticed recently that I am now allowed to type in a chat after reading its contact/group info. This happens only to that specific chat, the others work fine.

For example, I look at the profile picture, and when I leave, the chat bar has no blinking cursor and typing gives me the error sound. The mouse does change into a type cursor. Quitting and relaunching the app seems to fix this but it's really annoying. Can anyone else confirm this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0
