@Flak Has this issue been addressed? Nearly 2+ months later and I am having the same issue. Could this be a blocking issue if I were to try and publish an island with this problem for controller players?
Still an issue, I stopped using verse buttons going forward because of it. Some controller players know they can press the menu button twice to regain focus, others leave the game. Your best bet if possible is to have a timer in the background that will close the UI after some amount of time incase it gets stuck.
