Can't type or add blocks in the WordPress editor #41562

I'm currently on WordPress version 6.0, using Block Theme on Google Chrome.

When I try to add/edit a page/post, the following occurs.

Added text appends before the placeholder "Add Title" in the title.

The editor does not allow typing in the "Type / to choose a block" part, but if I click below it, I can add text that is appended to the muted text.

Third-party cookies and JavaScript are both enabled. I also tried clearing the entire time cache but was unable to address the problem.

I have also deactivated all the plugins but the problem persists.

It does, however, work flawlessly in Firefox. But I'm stumped as to why on Chrome it isn't working.

Thanks in advance!

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Go to 'Add new page'.
  2. Try to add content on the editor
