Pressing the escape key stops the mouse working in the game

When I press the escape key to enter the pause menu, the mouse stops working in the game (ipad pro 12.9 inches 5th generation with version 1.20.51 using wired keyboard and mouse)

I can't click any button or look around in the game, only the keyboard works in the menus and you can also move the character with the W A S D keys.

The mouse works again by closing the game and reopening it or waiting a few minutes and touching the iPad screen.

This error has been there since last year when I started using a mouse and keyboard.
