Navigating the Colonization UI with HOTAS

When in ship, I never use my mouse. I play in VR, and I keep my hands on the sticks, because navigating the UI with the mouse in VR is terrible for me. So always use controller navigation for the UI.

Navigating with the basic binds for the UI has always worked more or less well, but the new colonization UI windows are terrible. Some of the windows don't follow logic cursor movements, which is just about tolerable, but the worst is that I can get "softlocked" while choosing which new asset to build.

After choosing the outpost type (commercial, industrial etc.), on all option except the commercial outpost (Plutus) the navigation via the UI movement binds breaks - the "back" button doesn't work anymore either - , and the only way to get navigation back is by "touching" the window with the mouse. Just hovering over it is enough, then the game racts to the nav keys again. This also happens when you navigate with the keyboard, not just a stick.

This is an issue for me, because in order to see the web browser in my pinned desktop window, I push the ED window off to the side (I only have one screen at the moment and cannot put the ED window on a second screen, yet it needs to be in focus to react to controller inputs, but that's a different issue).

Anyone else having this issue, or is that a "me" problem? Anyone able to recreate the problem?
