WhatsApp's latest party trick is randomly changing the apparent keyboard focus from the message text field to a blank control while i'm in the middle of typing a message, so I have to regularly (every few seconds) tab and then shift+tab to make NVDA recognize that I'm still focused on the text field.
The constant quest to find an efficient way of Instant messaging is, without exaggeration, one of the most exhausting and frustrating parts of my tech life.

Out of curiosity, is anyone else experiencing this problem with WhatsApp still? WhatsApp logged me out yesterday and it seems there was an update, but I'm still getting focus jumps constantly. Someone recommended turning off typing suggestions in Windows settings, but that doesn't seem to have fixed it.
