Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Tasks app using the single reported step: add a task, then try adding a subtask. Inspect the unresponsive input and browser behavior to identify where the add-task action stops. Done means new tasks and subtasks can be created from the input field and the regression is covered by a suitable test.
