I am using UMG to design the main menu for a game prototype. To handle navigation around the menu there are two Widget Blueprints: one for the main menu, and the other for a reusable button.
The core idea works well: After the simulator starts I click Button1. This highlights Button1 and turns it green (focus). Then I press W to “move up” which successfully moves to Button4 and it turns green. (See screenshots below.)
If I continue pressing W the navigation will move up as expected. However, the problem is that when I navigate from Button2 up to Button1 focus does not stay on Button1, and immediately jumps to Button4.
TL;DR: This feature works except that I cannot navigate back to Button1 and stay there. When I go up from Button2 to Button1 the UI jumps to Button4 immediately.
Can someone explain why this happens? I believe the problem is related to Enhanced Input Mapping. The issue only affects the first button on this list in the main menu Designer view (in this case Button1).
- PlayerController
- Main Menu Widget Blueprint
- Button Widget Blueprint (On Focused Received function)
- Button Widget Blueprint (Event Graphs)
- Input Mapping Context
- Simulator (before clicking Button1).
- Simulator (after clicking Button1)
- Simulator (after pressing W key once)
