The player input predicate does not detect player input when inside a UI

The new field input can detect "which movement keys the player is pressing", quoting the official release note. 

However it does not work with players looking at UI, like inventory. I do not know if this is intended. but it says "which keys is pressing" and it suggests that it should always work when the key is being pressed.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Run the following command in a repeating command block:

   execute as @a at @s if predicate { "condition": "entity_properties", "entity": "this", "predicate": { "type_specific": { "type": "player", "input": { "right": true } } }} run say detected!
   

2. Open inventory
3. Press d, or the key that moves you to the right.

Expected Result:

The input would be detected inside the GUI.

Observed Result:

Nothing is detected, no say command is output.
