Web Browser Widget doesn´t work with Widget Interaction Component in VR

The Widget Interaction Component (WIC) doesn’t seem to be working correctly with the Web Browser Widget in 4.23 I have tested this with VR, with both the Epic Games Published version of 4.23. The WIC is either able to click on the Web Browser, OR other widget buttons, but not both.

To see the problem, reproduce the following steps.

Create a new project with the VR Default Template.

Create a Widget with the Web Browser.

Add some test buttons to the Widget alongside the Web browser.

Add the widget to a new Blueprint, and place it in the level.

Add a Widget Interaction Component to the player, and create it so it fires the “Press Pointer Key” node upon button press.

Play the level.

When playing, you are able to hover over the Web Browser buttons, but cannot click anything in the web browser properly OR, you will be able to click on items in the Web Browser but cannot click on the Test buttons outside the web browser.

I have discovered that if two Widget Interaction Components are created, one of them will only work with the Web Browser, and the other will only work with buttons outside the Web Browser.

This may have something to do with the Web Browser plugin not being updated according to the addition of Widget Interaction Component Pointer Indexes.

You should report this via Epics bug reporting form: Unreal Engine Community
