Can't interact with UI after changing brightness

I am using Manjaro Linux (kernel 5.10) with an i3 display manager on my HP 15s series laptop.
Whenever I change brightness level (via hotkeys), I can’t interact with UI anymore.
I can only change brightness and sound and move the mouse, but I can’t click on anything or change the window or start terminal or any program.
I tried reinstalling drivers and changing the kernel version, but it didn’t help.
Can anybody give me some suggestions on how to fix this problem?
