Set Input Mode "Game & UI" with Common UI plugin

I found that in the C++, there’s also something to do with UIInputConfigs in common UI.

This code thinks the UI is handling all keyboard events.

Ultimately this is because the CommonUIActionRouterBase returns BlockGameInput here.

The UIInputConfig is somehow set to Menu instead of All. I saw that me calling Set game input mode to UI and Game doesn’t affect this. I’d assume this is a bug.
