Description

Description

On a cheap Android TV box, retroarch does not accept any click on menu. I tried the box remote control, which is detected by retroarch nas an input, a wired usb keyboard, mouse and a usb gamepad. None can enter a menu item. Keyboard is simply dead for retroarch. Gamepad can navegate but not click on menu entries. Mouse can be used using rolling when mouse support is enabled editing retroarch.cfg. right click seems to open a help message while left click returns the selection to the first menu item from the first section. No input methods could enter a menu item.

Expected behavior

I should be able to select menu items

Actual behavior

Nothing happens when clicked.

Bisect Results

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the menu-selection failure on Android 10.1 with the listed input methods and RetroArch versions, then compare their behavior; done means menu items can be selected through supported controls.
