Ctrl+tab locks some keys and changes in the inactive view

VS Version 17.9.4. Ctrl+Tab locks the "special "buttons. Note that the alpha characters are working, but not some "special" buttons such as backspace, delete, arrows. My colleague have the same problem. I suspect the issue arise when pressing ctrl+tab. It seems like the special characters are sent to the view that the ctrl+tab changed from, and continues changes that view!

I wrote another issue about this since now I found its changing in another tab, which is clearly unexpected and can cause alot of problems.

    Hi @Markus Enberg , 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    It seems be fixed in preview release. You can verify it on Visual Studio 2022 version 17.10 Preview. 

    Refer to:

    Selecting a document with Ctrl+Tab sometimes moves focus to the wrong place - Developer Community (visualstudio.com)

    Text editor don't always register change of tabs - Developer Community (visualstudio.com) 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
