TBKeys-lite breaks typing in quick filter on 128esr

Details
QuickSearch does not accept certain characters when typed directly into the search box.
For example, of the string "Hilton", when I type it, I get "Hiln"; neither a "t" nor an "o" will appear no matter how many times I type them. Numbers also seem to be excluded. Not sure of the complete list of characters that can't be used.
I can, however, paste "Hilton" in from the clipboard, and all characters appear.
Version: 128esr
Platform: Linux/Flatpak

Added detail: does not seem to matter if the letter is lower-case or upper-case.
Out of the ASCII alphabet, these are the letters that are accepted: deghilnqvyz. Confirmed that all numbers are blocked.

On #maildev the tbkeys-lite add-on was pointed out as causing this.

Apparently troubleshoot mode didn't successfully disable TBkeys-lite? Once manually removed, the problem went away. Thanks Magnus!
Changing the title of this bug to reflect the actual problem.

New summary:
Having TBKeys-lite installed causes Quicksearch to misbehave in 128esr. Currently TBKeys-lite is marked as being compatible with 128, but clearly it isn't in some way. I don't know whether the issue is with Quicksearch or TBKeys.

BTW, the reason why TBKeys-lite is a critical plugin is that there's no other way to disable single-key shortcuts in Thunderbird (see 615957). This means that TBKeys needs to be active and configured with a long list of key exclusions. I suspect that what's happening is that previously Quicksearch was registered as an edit window, and thus TBKeys ignored it, but now somehow it's not.

We don't track add-on bugs in bugzilla. Please contact the add-on author.
(For referencing bugs, please just write "bug XXX" to have bugzilla autolink it. As bug 615957.)

I'm not convinced the bug is in the add-on. TBKeys-lite worked perfectly well under 1.15, and only causes issues with the Quicksearch window. Given the number of other bugs reported against quicksearch in 128, this looks more like a bug in quicksearch.

You are referring to the quick filter bar.
The known quick filter bar issues in 128 are performance related, and although numerous do not affect typing in the filter
