The behaviour has changed recently. When the freeze occurs, whatever we type goes to the dash search. It is visible only when we click the 3x3 icon and visualize the dash search panel. Earlier, whatever we type was disappears altogether. ie, when the freeze occurs and I continue to type, it is nowhere to be seen. But when we take dash search panel to unfreeze it, we can see what we typed after the freeze in the search box. Hope I explained properly.

It is as if there is no keyboard connected while I have my laptop keyboard and an external keyboard connected to the machine. I even enabled On Screen Keyboard and tried to type through it. Same result.
