Hmm yeah - it must be in some specific circumstance only. I'll post back with more details.
My option are just default.
Somehow I got the bug to come back - it affects all menus not just action menu. Symptom is cant move up/down.
Not sure how it gets into this state - still testing. After alt-tabbing and back it fixes itself. Notice how it seems 2 items are selected at same time.

Seems that the inputs of mouse have a higher priority in the ImGui. When the cursor of mouse is on the selection, the inputs of arrow keys will be disrupted.
You are right - it's caused by the mouse. But in a really non-obvious way!
If you accidentally move the mouse into a certain part of hte screen, the pointer will always screw up the dialogs.
Suggested fix: if player press a key it should override any previous mouse ui interaction.
This is a side effect of something we're doing wrong in how we use ImGui. I haven’t quite narrowed it down, but it is either due to the fact that we don’t run ImGui at a constant frame rate (instead we wait for input and only update when we get it), or in how we handle mouse input.
As a result I had to write the code to check the mouse position myself, and I deliberately went with an unsophisticated implementation. In addition to this quirk (which I knew about but didn’t expect anyone to think of as a bug), it causes a more severe (and unexpected) problem on long scrolling menus like the item spawn menu. Fixing those problems is easy, but then hovering works correctly while clicking on menu items does nothing. I’ve been working on the underlying problem instead.
Issue is present again in latest version. Debug Map editor unusable due to maybe mouse input? But mouse is still. Menu selection jumps around uncontrollably.
