Chat issues since update

Describe the Bug

My chat text field stops working after time without using it. I need to create a new chat to use the text field again.
I did not reach context limit or anything else, it just seems to stop intaking the keyboard.
reopening it from chat history makes it work again.

Steps to Reproduce

Don’t know exactly how to reproduce the bug since it seems to happen a bit randomly after time not spent using the chat.
