#dropped-input

When the editor console (or any text field) holds keyboard focus, every Input.* read in game code returns nothing, so a feature toggled from the console looks dead while the exact same feature works from its keybind. A debug camera in that state is pixel-identical to a broken one. Game code cannot take focus back; the fix is to make the silence loud.

Input.Pressed (edge-trigger) is frame-scoped -- reading it in OnFixedUpdate drops presses on frames with no tick, or fires them twice on frames with multiple ticks. Level reads (Input.Down) are fine in OnFixedUpdate. A systematic 100% input failure usually points elsewhere -- instrument each hop.
