This reliably happens after switching to graphing mode, which can be done accidentally by pressing Alt+3 instead of Alt+2 or 4.

More specifically it happens after switching to graphing mode if there is another instance of the calculator running on a different desktop (can create/switch by pressing WIN + TAB).

I have the same issue. Whenever I switch modes it sometimes will stop accepting keyboard input
