Question Selecting buttons with the mouse

Hi everyone,

I've run into the following issue when trying to make UI work with the new input system:

I'm using the Input System UI Input Module script next my Event System, and I'm feeding my custom input actions asset into it.
When a UI menu is initialized I'm using the event system's SetSelectedGameObject() method to select a default button on the UI so that gamepad users can navigate through the menu. When changing the control scheme to mouse and keyboard (done automatically by the Player Input class) however, hovering over a different button with the mouse, the auto-selected button stays in the higlighted state.

Using the gamedpad works as intended, highlighting one button at a time.

Please let me know how this is supposed to be resolved.

Thanks,

Marcell

 

The last answer on this post gives the answer to why this is happening:

However I haven't find a straight forward way of solving the issue.
