:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

When navigating during a game, with arrow keys, if I’m hovering over a button then I will not be able to click that button until I stop navigating and subsequently move the mouse cursor. It has always occurred for me for a long time. I use the arrow keys a lot so this makes the game much less playable.
