I am afraid that the inability to enter text into edit boxes with quick nav turned on is in my experience more common than not. Examples I have just checked where it does not work include the search edit box on the BBC news page, the search box on ebay.co.uk, the search Edit boxes on the UK Sainsbury shopping site and the Nat West Banking site login edit boxes. I stopped checking after looking at these sites but I know there are loads of others.
I guess that interacting and uninteracting out of edit boxes is a possibility but then turning quick nav on and off is probably quicker than that anyway as pushing down the left and right arrow together is a relatively easy keystroke, rather than the more complicated shift VO down arrow and shift vo up arrow. The odd thing is that sometimes it all works fine. From memory the Tesco shopping site allows you to login fine with quick nav on.

I dont' notice anything like that. I was able to bring up all edit boxes and stuff when I've played with it over the past few months.
