Thanks for reporting this. Any chance you can share the screen recording?

[Heres the recording I took](https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b77eh_--9yzRiT9R0wzytKNg), after further looking into it, it seemed like I experienced the Bear keyboard not working more often when the window i was typing into was in Slide Over. Also you can’t see my hands of course but at that 12 second mark, no input on the Bear Keyboard was working.

I have the same problem, though I am not in Slide Over mode. Problem appears since I am on iPad OS 26.1.
