Help: Entering multiple tasks on taskbar?

[cenozoite]

Can anyone confirm/help with this behavior? When in the Tasks app on WM and typing a new task into entry bar at the top, the first time it works fine. I can hit Enter and the task gets added to the list. However, after that point if tap the entry bar again to enter a second task, the cursor appears correctly but typing letters on the keyboard has no effect whatsoever. Nothing appears in the entry field. Until I type either Space or Backspace, at which point I can again type regular letters and they will show up.

Does anyone else encounter this issue, and is there any known fix? Also, what is the normal behavior after hitting Enter to confirm a new task. Is the cursor supposed to stay active in the cleared entry bar, ready for a new entry, the way it does on regular Outlook for full-sized Windows Desktop? For me it disappears and the text "Tap here to enter a new task" fills the entry bar until I click it again. I have to do this every time, which can be annoying if I wanted to enter ten new tasks in a row.

Any help is appreciated, thanks...
