UMG Navigation System Poorly Suited for Gamepad?

Found the only way to get anything done with Gamepad + UMG, is throw out all the built-in stuff.
Let all Gamepad inputs fire for all events, then have a ‘state system’ control the UI & figure it out.

That’s really unfortunate.

I’m wondering if Epic has any ETA for improving UMG gamepad support.

My dilemma at this point is I don’t want to spend a lot of time rolling my own solution if it will be fixed in the next few months.
