Spectating UI Buttons

Summary

After the v39.00 update (C7 Release), you can no longer add UI Verse buttons, at least not properly. They will be added to the players screen, but you cant interact with it since your cursor doesn’t appear, this also goes for controller. I even have it set to focus a certain button when it pops up. (Workaround: open social menu → close it, your cursor will now show)

Additional Notes

I have tried a whole bunch of different things, for e.g. I’ve tried adding a delay, different button methods and the only method that worked was setting the ui_input_mod.None. which only works for keyboard/mouse of course🫠
