Why can't I type a left parentheses in Cloud Shell?
When I type a Shift+9 (English keyboard) at the Cloud Shell prompt, the cursor stops blinking, becomes a hollow rectangle, and the Cloud Shell window loses mouse focus. No left parentheses appears on the screen. I've tried this in four different browsers and different computers - both PC and Mac - and with different logins. The behavior is the same in all cases - both in Bash and PowerShell. I don't experience this issue when typing any other characters.
What am I missing?

I have exactly the same problem! The only solution I came up with, is to copy the "(" symbol to your clipboard, and then paste it in the shell whenever you need to type it.
II have the same issue.
I am taking a Microsoft Python training course that uses an azure sandbox. When I type open parenthesis, the cursor turns open (as opposed to white filled) and does not accept further keyboard inputs. Clicking on the cursor resumes keyboard functionality. All other keys function as expected. Two ergonomic keyboards and two browsers give same result. I am running Windows MS365 on a Mac mini and am using a MS ergonomic keyboard. I would appreciate any help. Thanks. Fred.
