Hey,
There is currently a Minecraft Bedrock Bug where when you open chat, it freezes the game for around 1 or 2 seconds. Though this may not affect most people, during competitive matches, the game in the background freezes and after chat open, it finnaly starts working.
Is this still an issue in the latest version (1.17.10)? If so, can you please add it to the affected versions (or mention it if you are not the reporter).
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
